Review: Great to prevent skin rashes related to tape sensitivity and/or moist dressings - My mother has been on dialysis for three years and has a CVC catheter on her chest wall that requires a dressing. The tape that we were using was making a very bad rash. When I was a visiting nurse, we used to use this product for patients with dressings and other medical devices that needed to be taped in place. This always prevented rashes and problems with skin tearing on sensitive skin. I started using this on my mom and the bad rash that she had developed healed within days with no stinging or pain. We’ve been using it for over two years now and no problems at all. Review: Very helpful. - Just as described ## Features - SAFE: It is safe for long-term use, especially on sensitive skin areas - EASY: This product can be easily removed with a skin cleanser and water - Fast and easy to use, only one coat is required, so less product is used per application - Helps tape and film adhesion ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002ZUHLW8 | | Active Ingredients | glycerin | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Age range (description) | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #16,994 in Health ( See Top 100 in Health ) #175 in Adhesive Bandages | | Brand | Smith & Nephew | | Brand Name | Smith & Nephew | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 8,751 Reviews | | Item Dimensions | 5.1 x 2.5 x 7.6 centimeters | | Item Form | Wipes | | Item Weight | 118 g | | Manufacturer | Smith & Nephew | | Manufacturer Part Number | 420400 | | Material Features | Disposable | | Material Type | Polyurethane (PU) | | Material features | Disposable | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Type Name | Box | | Product Benefits | Cleanser | | Recommended Uses For Product | Use with adhesives and tapes in medical settings | | Scent Name | Unscented | | Skin Type | Sensitive | | Skin type | Sensitive | | Target Use Body Part | Body | | UPC | 066510065007 | | Unit Count | 50.0 Count | | Unit count | 50.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Smith & Nephew - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 5.1 x 2.5 x 7.6 centimeters - **Material:** Polyurethane (PU) - **Size:** 50 Count (Pack of 1) - **Style:** Adhesive ## Images ![Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep Protective Barrier Wipes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Intz5Mw9L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what size is the wipe itself. I used to get Adapt and they changed the size they were 4 1/2 x 2 3/4. Perfect size for my stoma. Thanks** A: These are small wipes about the size of and similar to an alcohol wipe. They are meant to help prepare the skin for better bandage adhesion. They are not a dressing in itself. Had to do many bandage changes on my husband before he passed and I loved these wipes. They really help a bandage or protective bandages such as Tegaderm adhere to the skin. I always have them on hand. Helps with bandaid adhesion too. Hope this helps. **Q: product ingredients** A: According to the package, the ingredients are: Isopropyl Alcohol, Butyl Ester of PVM/MA Copolymer, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate **Q: I am wanting to order the larger qty (1000) but we are worried if these will dry out too fast overtime before all being used. This is for a PT office.** A: I order 2-4 boxes at a time with no problem. I use 2 every 2-4 days. Occasionally I have to use them more frequently. This brand I find to be better than any other I have used. **Q: Will this help stop itching and redness from my medical tape on dressings?** A: I don’t know about the itching but it should keep your skin from getting irritated by the dressing, I use it even when I use pain patches, helps keep them on even though they need a little tape around the edges. and maybe look into a different kind of dressing, that could be your main cause of irritation. Hope this helps ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great to prevent skin rashes related to tape sensitivity and/or moist dressings *by N***Y on 26 June 2026* My mother has been on dialysis for three years and has a CVC catheter on her chest wall that requires a dressing.
