Skincote Skin Barrier Wipes
Anyone who wears tape, ostomy pouches, or adhesive dressings knows the frustration of skin that gets red, raw, or pulls away when the adhesive comes off. Skincote skin barrier wipes from Dynarex are designed to put a protective film between vulnerable skin and whatever is being applied on top of it — so the adhesive sticks where it should and skin stays intact underneath.
Each wipe delivers a fast-drying protective coating that shields the skin from adhesive trauma, friction, and moisture. Once the film sets, tapes and appliances bond more securely and, just as importantly, release more gently at changeover. That matters most for people managing frequent dressing changes or wearing an ostomy or urostomy appliance around the clock, where repeated adhesive contact can quickly break down peristomal or periwound skin.
The Dynarex Skincote Skin Barrier Wipe (item 1506) comes in a compact 1-3/10 x 2-3/5 inch saturated pad containing isopropyl alcohol at 70% strength. Because it contains alcohol, expect a brief sting on open or abraded skin — for broken skin, many caregivers prefer a sterile, alcohol-free barrier alternative. On intact skin, the alcohol base evaporates quickly and leaves the protective layer behind, ready for tape or pouch application in seconds. These wipes are nonsterile and individually packaged, making them convenient for home care, travel, and clinical carts alike.
Skincote wipes pair naturally with tapes, dressings, and ostomy systems. To build a complete kit, browse related supplies in our Ostomy Care and Wound Care collections, or explore more Skin Care essentials to keep sensitive skin protected between changes.
