The alcohol-based formula (USP grade) also protects tender or fragile skin from the mechanical trauma of adhesive removal, reducing the risk of skin stripping and irritation at the application site. Each wipe is individually packaged for single-use application.

First, it creates a physical barrier between the skin and any moisture, digestive output, or urine that could cause maceration or irritation at the application site. Second, it protects the skin from the mechanical trauma of adhesive removal — when a dressing or appliance is removed, the adhesive can strip the outermost layer of skin cells, particularly on fragile or repeatedly dressed skin. The protective film acts as a sacrificial layer that the adhesive bonds to, reducing direct trauma to the skin itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the alcohol in the wipe irritate the skin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe USP grade alcohol in Skin-Prep wipes is used to prepare the skin surface and evaporates quickly after application, leaving the protective film behind. For most users, the brief contact with alcohol is well tolerated. However, users with very sensitive skin, open wounds, or compromised skin integrity may experience temporary stinging or irritation on application. Do not apply to open wounds or broken skin. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider or wound care specialist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the protective coating last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe protective film created by Skin-Prep wipes is designed to remain effective for the duration of a typical dressing or appliance wear period. The longevity of the coating depends on the level of moisture exposure, the type of dressing or appliance used, and the individual patient's skin condition. In high-moisture environments — such as around an ostomy stoma — reapplication at each appliance change is standard practice. Follow the guidance of your healthcare provider or wound care specialist for the appropriate reapplication frequency for your specific situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these wipes suitable for use around a stoma?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Skin-Prep wipes are commonly used in ostomy care to prepare the peristomal skin before applying an ostomy appliance. The protective coating helps seal the skin against digestive output and urine, which can cause significant skin irritation and breakdown if they come into contact with unprotected peristomal skin. Allow the wipe to dry completely before applying the ostomy appliance to ensure proper adhesion. Consult your ostomy nurse or healthcare provider for guidance on the appropriate skin care routine for your specific ostomy type and appliance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Complete Medical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40388904648758,"sku":"SN4204","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1443\/4772\/products\/complete-medical-skin-care-products-default-title-skin-prep-protective-dressing-wipe-box-of-50-skin-barrier-usp-alcohol-23632436002870.jpg?v=1788640787","url":"https:\/\/www.precisionlabworks.com\/en-ca\/products\/skin-prep-protective-dressing-wipe-box-of-50-skin-barrier-usp-alcohol","provider":"Precision Lab Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
