Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep Protective Dressing Wipes (Box of 50): Enhanced Skin Protection and Dressing Application Review

ordered these as they are no longer available from my local supplier. Use them when using my son's insulin set and it helps prevent it from coming loose within 3 days, which he does wear is well worth the extra security and saves money by increasing the set's coupling speed is increased almost 100%.

If you are allergic to bandage adhesive this is a must have. The surgeon told me about it 17 years ago and I've had it handy ever since. Any time I need an adhesive bandage, I first prepare the skin where the bandage will make contact. It has saved me from many evil outbursts. I keep them at home and at work so I'm never without a pad to prep my skin. They also help the bandage stick.

I love skin prep. I started using it due to an allergy to glue. The bad news is that nurses have come up with all sorts of clever solutions to avoid using Tegaderm or any other occlusive dressing.

This made it very difficult to remove the gel pads from the electrodes because they were stuck to the skin. Use a simple body lotion and leave it on for a few minutes, then apply to the skin prepared for the electrode, which allows the electrode to be removed…

I ordered this product by mistake because of contact dermatitis from a doctor-prescribed medicated patch. In short, the medicine does not get to your skin through the skin preparation. If you are using it to treat sensitivities due to seals around ports, stoma, insulin pumps etc, this material is just great and well worth the price. One application can serve multiple tape applications. Run your finger over the treated area and you will feel that the medication is still there. If it looks bumpy…

I use this product when applying medical bandages to my skin. Before use, my skin was always irritated, red, with rashes and painful sensations from frequent dressing changes and removing the adhesive. Sensitive skin has always exacerbated the situation. Skin prep works wonders. Creates a protective translucent coating on the top layer of leather. This has a dual purpose. As a result, the bandages adhere better to the skin. It also protects the skin from attached irritants or skin damage when…
