Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep Protective Barrier Wipes offer a thin, breathable shield on the skin before adhesives are applied. The barrier aims to minimize insult during tape and film removal, helping skin feel calmer and supporting more reliable adhesion where protection matters most. Available as convenient single-use wipes and an easy-to-use spray, this product is designed for targeted protection on sensitive skin areas.
A series of tests under a scanning electron microscope suggests Skin-Prep provides protection against adhesive trauma. The formulation features Citroflex, a non-sensitizing component intended to reduce irritation and allergic reactions. It’s described as safe for long-term use, particularly on delicate skin in populations such as ostomates and geriatric patients.
In real-world care settings, Skin-Prep can support adhesions that stay put longer by allowing skin to breathe. This breathable barrier may help keep skin comfortable during wear and could reduce the frequency of dressing changes, potentially saving nursing time. When it’s time to remove, the protective layer can make adhesive removal less abrasive, potentially reducing discomfort for patients.
Apply a thin coat over the skin area needing protection with a single wipe. Allow the film to dry before applying tapes or films. When cleansing the skin, Skin-Prep can be removed with a standard skin cleanser and water—no harsh scrubbing required.
Q: What is Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep Protective Barrier Wipes used for?
A: They form a protective barrier between skin and adhesives to help preserve skin integrity and may improve adhesion and ease of removal.
Q: How do I use Skin-Prep Protective Barrier Wipes?
A: Apply one coat, allow to dry, then apply tapes/films; remove with cleanser and water; options include wipes or a spray.
