Detachol Adhesive Remover

Peeling away tape, a dressing, or an ostomy appliance shouldn't mean stripping skin along with it. Detachol from Ferndale Laboratories is a non-irritating, no-sting adhesive remover that gently dissolves adhesive residue so bandages, wound dressings, tapes, and ostomy barriers lift away cleanly — without the tugging and tearing that damages fragile or sensitive skin.

That gentleness is why clinicians and home caregivers reach for it. Detachol is latex-free and formulated to avoid the burning sensation many alcohol-based removers cause, making it appropriate for elderly patients, neonates, and anyone with delicate or frequently taped skin. Apply a small amount at the edge of the adhesive, let it work, and the bond releases while leaving the surrounding skin intact and ready for the next dressing.

We carry Detachol in the formats that match how people actually use it. The 4 oz. bottle with dispenser cap (0513-04) is the workhorse for busy wound care rooms, ostomy routines, and facilities managing frequent dressing changes. The compact 15 mL bottle (0513-15) travels well and suits lower-volume or personal use. For single-application convenience and unit-dose control, the 2/3 cc vials (0496-0513-48) keep waste and cross-contamination low in clinical settings.

A common question: is Detachol safe around wounds? It's intended for use on intact skin to release adhesives rather than for direct application into open wounds — always follow your clinician's guidance. Because it evaporates and leaves minimal residue, skin is typically clean and dry enough to re-tape shortly after.

Detachol pairs naturally with the rest of your dressing-change supplies. Explore related skin care products and broader wound care options to build a complete, skin-friendly protocol.
