Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep Protective Barrier Wipes
- Forms a protective interface
- Increases the adhesion of tapes and wafers
- Reduces adhesive removal trauma
Product Overview
Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep Protective Barrier Wipes
Skin-Prep Protective Barrier Wipes
Skin-Prep is a liquid film-forming dressing that forms a protective film to help reduce friction during removal of tapes and films.
Skin-Prep can also be used to prepare skin attachment sites for drainage tubes, external catheters, surrounding ostomy sites and adhesive dressings. Helps tape and film adhesion.
Skin Prep wipes are fast and easy to use, only one coat is required, so less product is used per application. Removes easily using skin cleanser or soap and water, so unsanitary residue isn’t left in or around the wound area.
Skin Prep applies easily, even on awkward areas and moves naturally with patients’ skin and won’t crack or peel. Best of all, the Skin Prep wipes allow your skin to "breathe" so tapes and films adhere better. The wipes may increase intervals between dressing changes. The Protective Dressing helps to increase the adhesion of tapes and wafers. The Skin Prep also protects fragile skin and reduces adhesive removal trauma.

This stuff is awesome! After a minor surgery that required me to wear a bandage daily for weeks, my mom, who is a hospice nurse, recommended these to me to keep the skin under the adhesive from getting irritated/damaged. She says she also uses these for her patients to protect their skin against sores from sheets rubbing their heels & toes.

Have you tried alcohol? That should work, especially if you wipe the scissors after each use. I haven't had this problem because I simply tear the packets open at the notch on the side of the packet.

I don't use scissors to open the packets. I just tear them open. I think alcohol works fine to clean scissors.

no, because it only PREVENTS irritants,liquids,etc from being in constant contact w/skin, Won't stop pressure sores caused by immobility

No, this is for SKIN around a wound prep. Don't use it on wound.
As I understood, you have situation with small bed sore on the tailbone. If it's correct, you need to develop a plan for position change at least every 1-2 hours. In addition, you might want to try to apply a bit of Calmoseptine Skin Ointment on the wound. If it's just beggining, Colmoseptine works perfectly!

I use skin prep to protect the skin around a wound. However, I never used skin prep directly on a small bed sore or wound. I am a real fan of Calcium Alginate by Kendall also known as Curasorb if the skin is broken. Ask any wound care doctor. I am not a medical person. However, my husband has been wheel chair bound since 1992 and has never had a bed sore on his tail bone. He did, however, have an open sore on his knee from a bump and the calcium alginate put directly on the open wound and covered with a dressing healed that in no time flat.
To protect my husband's tail bone as he sits for 12 hours a day in the chair, I put skin prep around the perimeter of the tail bone area, then apply a small dressing which I put over his tail bone to protect him from the material in the underwear from constant irritation due to rubbing or movement. For this I use Kendall Telfa Mini Island Dressing. Item #7539LF or these numbers also on dressing 101153/963506. I get all of the products mentioned from Allegra Medical. Hope this helps a little.

Not on their own. These prepare the skin so other dressings adhere better.

The purpose of these wipes is to protect your skin from adhesives. I think it would be a bad idea to use them to treat a bed sore.

From my experience, Skin Prep applied to a sore or rash causes extreme burning. I use Skin Prep as an adhesive for an ostomy wafer.

I don't know. I use them as preparation for using CPAP mask to protect the skin from irritation. I imagine that it would work for a TENS also, but don't really know.

the product does clean the skin as you wipe it, but it puts a small "adhesive" on your skin as well. it is for better contact between your skin and another sticky material.
