Smith & Nephew Skin Prep Protectants

More Information

• Application Instructions:
  Step 1: Skin should be clean and dry prior to application of Skin Prep.
  Step 2: Apply a uniform coating over entire area you wish to protect, i.e., around stoma, under dressing, catheter site, etc.
  Step 3: Skin Prep will dry in approximately 30 seconds. If you miss an area that you intended to cover, wait until the original area of application has dried, then reapply to the missed area.
  Step 4: For maximum protection, an optional second coating of Skin Prep may be applied and allowed to dry before covering area with dressing or other adhesive product.
  Step 5: If Skin Prep is applied to an area with skin folds or other skin-to-skin contact, make sure that skin-contact areas are separated to allow the coating to thoroughly dry before returning to normal position. 
• Removal Instructions:
  Step 1: The removal of adhesive products may also remove Skin Prep, so reapplication is necessary any time that adhesive products are changed.
  Step 2: Removal of Skin Prep is not necessary before reapplication. Clean and dry the area and apply fresh Skin Prep as directed above.
• Precautions:
  - For external use only
  - Keep out of the reach of children
  - Avoid contact with eyes
  - In the case of accidental contact, flush eyes well with water
  - Do not apply directly to open wounds or in deep puncture wounds
  - Should redness or other signs of irritation appear, discontinue use

   It stings!

   If you have a new stoma and is an inny with bleeding and chafed skin these wipes sting, they have alcohol in them, use the no sting wipes until things clear up
