Skin Prep Wipe Box (50)

Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep is a single-use wipe that lays down a protective film on the skin before tape or a dressing goes on. The film sits between the skin and the adhesive and is designed to protect the skin against trauma and stripping when the tape or dressing is later removed. This listing is for a box of 50 wipes; the wipes are also sold individually.

What it does

• Forms a protective film between the skin and adhesive tapes, films and dressings
• Designed to help tapes and dressings adhere
• Designed to help reduce skin trauma when adhesive dressings and tapes are removed
• Handy for awkward areas such as elbows and heels
• Single-use wipe, quick to apply

How to use

Wipe over clean, intact skin where the tape or dressing will sit, then let it dry fully before applying the adhesive. Skin-Prep is an alcohol-based film, so give it a moment to dry rather than taping over a wet surface.
