Frequently asked questions
Will these wipes help prevent skin irritation?
Yes. These wipes create a thin, semi-permeable polymer barrier on your skin. This protective layer acts as a shield, which helps to prevent skin stripping and irritation caused by the frequent removal of medical adhesives, tapes, or ostomy barriers.
Are these wipes alcohol-free?
Yes, they are completely alcohol-free. They are specifically designed to provide a ‘no sting’ experience, ensuring they remain gentle on sensitive or compromised skin.
Can I use these with my current medical adhesives?
Absolutely. These wipes are designed to be used in conjunction with a wide range of medical tapes, adhesive bandages, and skin barriers. They ensure your appliances adhere securely while still protecting your skin underneath.
Are these wipes suitable for ostomy care?
Yes, they are highly recommended for patients utilizing ostomy appliances. By creating a protective interface between the skin and the adhesive, they help maintain long-term skin integrity during daily or frequent appliance changes.
Will this affect the hold of my medical tape?
No, the polymer coating is semi-permeable. It is designed specifically to allow your medical tapes and skin barriers to adhere securely while still providing a protective interface to prevent skin damage during removal.
How many wipes are in a box?
Each box contains 50 individual wipe packets. The convenient, single-use sachet design makes them easy to keep on hand for both clinical and home care use.
Do I need to clean my skin before applying?
Yes, for the best results, you should ensure the area is clean and dry. Once the protective barrier is applied with the wipe, allow the skin to dry completely before applying any medical tape or adhesive device.
Are these wipes sterile?
