No-Sting Skin-Prep

Anyone who wears a skin barrier, an ostomy pouch, or frequent adhesive dressings knows the real problem isn't sticking things on — it's what happens when you peel them off. Repeated tape removal strips the outer layer of skin, leaving it raw, red, and vulnerable. No-Sting Skin-Prep wipes lay down a fast-drying protective film that shields fragile skin from adhesive trauma, friction, and moisture, so barriers adhere better and come off cleaner.

The wipes in this collection use a hexamethyldisiloxane/acrylate copolymer formula that's alcohol-free and truly no-sting — safe to apply over compromised or denuded skin without the burn that traditional alcohol-based preps cause. Each individually packaged wipe is sterile, hypoallergenic, unscented, and CHG-compatible, making it appropriate around IV sites, PICC lines, ostomy stomas, and periwound skin. At 2.75 x 1‑1/8 inches with 1.0 mL of solution, they cover a working area quickly and dry within seconds into a breathable barrier.

Wondering how to use them? Clean and dry the skin first, wipe an even coat over the area you want to protect, let it dry until tacky-free, then apply your dressing or appliance as usual. The film wears off naturally over 24–48 hours and reapplies easily at each change. Because it's alcohol-free, it won't sting on open or irritated skin — the reason clinicians and caregivers reach for it on the most fragile patients.
