StingFree Skin Barrier Products

For anyone whose skin faces repeated contact with adhesives, tape, ostomy appliances, or urinary drainage devices, protecting the surrounding area matters as much as the wound or stoma itself. StingFree products from DermaRite form a breathable barrier film over intact or damaged skin, shielding it from moisture, friction, and adhesive trauma — all without the burning sensation that alcohol-based skin preps cause on fragile or broken skin.

That alcohol-free formulation is the whole point. Because StingFree uses a hexamethyldisiloxane base rather than alcohol, it can be applied to peristomal skin, around wound edges, or under tape and dressings without the sting patients dread. The film dries quickly to a protective coating, then dissipates on its own — no scrubbing required to remove it.

The collection covers the formats caregivers reach for most:

• StingFree Skin Barrier Wipes (00237): 2 x 2½ in. nonwoven gauze in individual packets — convenient for quick, targeted prep at the bedside or on the go.
• StingFree Skin Protectant (00236): a 2 oz. scented liquid in a pump bottle, ideal for treating larger areas or for routine use in a facility setting.
• StingFree Alcohol-Free Liquid Skin Prep & Shield Applicator (11238): a single-use applicator that lays down a uniform prep-and-shield film in one step.

Choosing between them usually comes down to how much surface you need to cover and how often. Individual wipe packets keep things sanitary and portable for occasional dressing changes, while the pump bottle is more economical for daily peristomal or perineal skin care. All are nonsterile and intended for use on intact or damaged skin around wounds, stomas, and adhesive sites.

StingFree pairs naturally with the rest of your routine. Explore complementary Skin Care products, protective options in Skin Barriers, and supplies for adhesive-related needs in our Ostomy category.
