Uni-Solve Adhesive Remover

Peeling away tape, ostomy barriers, wound dressings, or EKG electrodes shouldn't take skin with it. Uni-Solve Adhesive Remover from Smith & Nephew dissolves stubborn adhesive residue so dressings and appliances lift cleanly, sparing fragile or repeatedly-taped skin from the tearing and trauma that comes with pulling adhesives off dry.

The formula is non-sensitizing and non-irritating, which is why it's a staple for anyone managing frequent dressing changes — ostomates, wound care patients, and the caregivers and nurses who change tapes and appliances day after day. It works quickly on medical-grade adhesives without leaving a greasy film, and it helps loosen sticky buildup left behind after a barrier or dressing has already been removed.

Two formats cover most needs. The individual 2.5 x 2.5 inch wipes (402300) are pre-saturated, single-use packets — convenient for travel, keeping in a caregiver kit, or grabbing a fresh one at each dressing change without cross-contamination. The 8 ounce liquid bottle (59402500) is the economical choice for facilities and high-frequency users, letting you apply exactly as much as a given site needs.

A few practical notes buyers ask about: apply the remover along the edge of the adhesive as you gently peel, rather than yanking; after the appliance is off, wipe away any leftover residue, then cleanse and dry the skin before applying a new dressing or barrier. Rinsing or cleansing the area afterward helps if you're about to re-tape, since a clean, dry surface gives the next adhesive a better bond.

Pair Uni-Solve with a skin barrier or moisturizer for a complete peristomal or wound-margin routine — explore Uni Derm moisturizing cream and adhesive-based supplies like Uni-Patch electrodes to round out your kit.
