Smith & NephewSkin-Prep® Protective Barrier Wipes

Best skin prep for the best price that I can find. This and the spray are great to use.😃🫶

This product was recommended to me by a sleep tech. Great product to protect tender skin. No thick film left behind like another brand tried. Used during wound care and paper tape stuck to area this was applied to and stayed in place through activities and sleep. I’ve recommended this product to many others, including home health staff.

I'm allergic to medical adhesive. But these wonderful miracle wipes form a barrier on my skin and allows surgical, postoperative, and everyday bandaids to be applied with NO adverse reaction!

This item shield the source so it heals quicker I would

IF YOU STILL HAVE A BAD REACTION TO ADHESIVES PLEASE READ. I have the most sensitive skin ever!! I stopped wearing my Dexcom G6 because of the reaction, after a day, I was having. It was worse than the second picture. Then I discovered these wipes.Just using the wipes, I used three to try and get a thicker layer. Clearly still didn’t work for me. (Pictured 2) I then heard about using Fluticasone or Flonase too. So I used just that, still had a horrible reaction. I gave up hope.But then I decided to try both. I used three wipes, let it dry, THEN sprayed Fluticasone, let it dry. STILL A HORRIBLE REACTION. Again started losing hope, but got more determined.I finally heard about Hydro Seal Band Aids size large. They recommend cutting a hole for the needle. But I was STILL left with a small awful irritation that was SO itchy. I gave up cutting the hole. I have FINALLY FOUND A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. So, if you can relate please read this next part.1: I use three of these wipes (can’t live with out them, I tried skipping this step, doesn’t work for me. Horrible reaction!!!)2: Spray Flonase on area, let dry, repeat.3: Trim Dexcom’s adhesive as close to the monitor as possible (don’t snap orange piece to prevent accidental set off during this step)4: Take the Hydro Seal Band Aid and wipe a Smith and Nephew wipe on it. Let dry, stick Dexcom to this Band Aid. Make sure to try and keep it centered or the adhesive chemicals can still get through the bandaid. I’m serious. It’s crazy.5: Skin should be completely dry. Peel the paper off the Band Aid now, break orange seal on Dexcom, firmly press to prepped skin area. Click the button to release the Dexcom.6: Take another wipe. Wipe around the Dexcom, and complete with Skin Grip or other patch of your choosing, to keep Dexcom in place.The lesser reaction picture is when I accidentally skipped using the nose spray. STILL such a huge difference pairing even just the wipes and Hydro Seal Band Aids together.I get no reactions (90% of the time) when doing this process. Now it’s not full proof sometimes I’ll get one or two bumps on occasion after removing the Dexcom. But the amount of relief I have found from this process is insane and now I can safely and happily wear a Dexcom. I can finally wear it for the full 10 days with no issue. It truly makes my life easier!

I have always used the skin prep wipes, as they make the band aides stick better.

Product works great for my Libre monitors.

So I use this differently than it appears it's suggested. Before I go for a long run or hike, I use the wipe around my feet, especially on areas that tend to rub, like the back of my heels or toes, through my arch and all around. Then just wait a couple of seconds to fully dry, then put on socks and shoes and you're ready to go. When I use this, I have not experienced any blisters or even any hot spots. While not the intended use, it works amazingly for this and I could not recommend it more.
