I cannot recommend these highly enough to any users of the Freestyle Libre glucose monitor. These wipes, along with a protective patch, have completely eliminated the concern of a lost sensor. Just wipe, wait a few seconds, then attach the sensor. It sticks so much better it is unreal. (Side note: When applying these I have been carefully leaving a small space in the middle where the sensors filament will be. I have absolutely no idea if this is necessary or not.)
I am so glad I was told about this. I use it wherever I am applying an adhesive to my skin because otherwise, I end up with the adhesive causing small tears around the site, thus ending up with scabs that itch (can't apply ant-itch creams because it will loosen adhesive). This stops that which has been a lifesaver with my insulin pump and CGM sites, as well as band-aids or athletic & kinesiology tapes. It also helps keeps the items on longer (keeps skin oils from affecting the adhesive, as well as water), & it doesn't hurt as much when removing them. (this will not prevent an allergic reaction from a latex bandage!)
Great stuff. I need to have a dressing changed twice a day. The tape can cause a bad rash, and eventually remove skin. Applying SKIN PREP before the tape has DRAMATICALLY reduced the skin irritation, and helps in removal of tape.
Smith & Nephew SKIN PREP Protective Wipes (Box of 50) (PACK OF 3 BOXES)
I remove and replace medical tape every other day to hold a medical device. The tape used to pull painfully until I discovered this product. It protects the skin but allows good adhesion of the tape. I get no tape pull and virtually no skin irritation. I love it.
After being in an arm cast I had some skin breakdown. I used this a few times a day and 3 days later the skin is healthy and without issues. Not painful when applied (no sting or burn). I also use this before applying adhesives to skin - let it dry before applying dressings, band-aids etc.I have used this product for many years in a medical setting.
Feature Product
- Helps tape and film adhesion. 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.
- Applies easily, even on awkward areas such as elbows, knees, and heels. Moves naturally with patients' skin and won't crack or peel.
- Allows skin to "breathe" so tapes and films adhere better.
- May increase intervals between dressing changes. Pediatrician tested.
Description
SKIN-PREP is a liquid film-forming dressing that, upon application to intact skin, 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.
Cleans and provides tacky skin surface for insulin pump insertion set. Quick and easy
This product is a must for anyone with sensitive/thin skin. It works great! If you have a wound that must be covered for several days and the bandage changed regularly, the skin gets raw. Apply this product beforehand. Let it dry. Apply the bandage. When it's ready to be removed, the adhesive on the bandage tape won't leave your skin red and irritated.
I have to use this to protect my skin for my medical device. Pricing is reasonable.
Very nice price and fast shipping. I will purchase again.
Consistently high quality, good ship time, good price. I have bought from this seller several time and have not been disappointed.
