Smith & Nephew Skin Prep Wipes 50/Box

Description

Skin-Prep* protective dressing forms a barrier between the patient's skin and adhesives to help preserve skin integrity and prevent insult or injury during removal of tapes and films. A series of tests under a scanning electron microscope suggest that Skin-Prep provides effective protection against adhesive trauma. Skin-Prep allows skin to breathe so tapes and films adhere better and longer. Enhanced adhesion increases the interval between dressing changes to save nursing time. Less frequent application and removal of adhesive dressings reduces the risk of damage to delicate skin. Skin-Prep contains Citroflex for added safety and reliable protection with virtually no irritation or allergic reactions. It is safe for long-term use, especially on sensitive skin areas in ostomates and geriatric patients. Skin-Prep helps prevent contact dermatitis and makes adhesive removal less painful for patients. Single-use, individually packaged Skin-Prep wipes are more than adequate to provide even more barrier formula where skin needs protection most. It is also available in an easy to use spray can. Skin-Prep can be removed with a skin cleanser and water, so there is no need to scrub the skin or expose it to harsh chemical cleansers or solvents that can cause irritation.
