Prep and Remove Wipes: Simplifying Skin Care and Adhesive Management

Prep and remove wipes are essential tools in skin care and wound management, designed to prepare the skin for adhesive application and safely remove adhesives without causing irritation. These versatile wipes are widely used in healthcare settings and at home to ensure comfort and proper care.

What Are Prep and Remove Wipes?

Prep wipes: These wipes create a protective barrier on the skin to enhance the adhesion of medical tapes, dressings, or devices while protecting the skin from irritation.

Remove wipes: Designed to gently dissolve adhesive residues, these wipes make removing medical tapes, dressings, or devices easy and pain-free.

Both types of wipes are formulated with gentle ingredients to cater to sensitive skin, making them suitable for all skin types.
