How to Use Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep Wipes & Swabs?

Step 1
Skin should be clean and dry

Step 2
Foam applicator or wipe: Apply a uniform coating over the entire area you desire to protect.

Step 3
NO-STING SKIN-PREP will dry in approximately 30 seconds. If you miss an area that you intended to cover, wait until the original area of application has dried, then reapply to the missed area.

Step 4
For maximum protection, an optional second coating of NO-STING SKIN-PREP may be applied and allowed to dry before covering area with dressing or other adhesive products.

Step 5
If NO-STING SKIN-PREP is applied to an area with skin folds or other skin-to-skin contact, make sure that skin-contact areas are separated to allow the coating to thoroughly dry before returning to normal position.

Step 6
When used under adhesive products, reapplication is necessary each time the product is changed as the film can be removed by the adhesive. Ensure that NO-STING SKIN-PREP is dry before the application of adhesive products.

Step 7
When used as a skin protectant against bodily fluids, feces, or urine, etc, and no adhesive products are applied to the skin: (a) reapplication of NO-STING SKIN-PREP is recommended every 24-96 hours depending upon the frequency of cleansing; (b) in extreme cases (e.g. constant diarrheal stooling) with very frequent cleansing, more frequent applications may be necessary (i.e. every 12-24 hours).

Removal

Removal of NO-STING SKIN-PREP is not necessary before reapplication. However, If removal is desired, the film can be removed by using most medical adhesive removers. Clean and dry the area and apply fresh no-sting skin-prep.
