Description
Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep is a protective barrier film that prepares the skin before tape, dressings or electrodes are applied. It removes grease, oils and perspiration from the skin surface and leaves behind a thin protective film, helping tape and adhesives adhere better while reducing the risk of skin trauma on removal.
Key Features
- Forms a protective barrier film on the skin
- Removes grease, oils and perspiration prior to taping
- Commonly used before applying sports tape, adhesive dressings, EMG, ECG or electro-stim electrodes
- Available as a 118ml spray or a box of 50 pre-moistened wipes
- Quick-drying, non-greasy finish
How to Use
Apply to clean, dry skin and allow to dry fully (usually around 30 seconds) before applying tape, a dressing or electrodes.
Skin-Prep is used in podiatry and sports medicine clinics to help extend the wear time of tape and dressings and reduce skin irritation on removal. TBS Health Australia delivers fast, Australia-wide.
