Smith & Nephew Skin Prep Wipes - 50 Pack

🔷 Product Overview

The Smith and Nephew Skin Prep Wipes are protective skin barrier wipes designed to form a liquid film dressing on intact skin to help reduce friction and irritation caused by adhesive tapes, films, ostomy products, and medical devices. Once applied, the fast-drying protective film helps improve tape and dressing adhesion while supporting skin protection during dressing removal.

Commonly used for ostomy care, drainage tubes, external catheters, adhesive dressings, and sensitive skin areas, Skin Prep wipes create a breathable protective interface that moves naturally with the skin without cracking or peeling. The wipes may also help reduce irritation caused by urine, feces, stoma fluid, and repeated adhesive use.

Convenient individually packaged wipes make application fast, hygienic, and easy in both home care and clinical environments.
