Skin Protective Film Wipe

A Skin Protective Film (Wipe) is a single-use, liquid-impregnated wipe that applies a transparent, breathable polymer film to the skin. This film acts as an invisible shield, protecting the skin from irritation caused by bodily fluids (urine, stool, wound drainage), adhesive trauma (MARSI), and friction .

For the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nurse (WOCN), the wipe format provides a measured, precise, and mess-free application for targeted areas like the peristomal or periwound skin. It is a critical tool for managing Moisture-Associated Skin Damage (MASD) and preparing fragile skin for medical adhesives, creating a "sacrificial" layer that prevents skin stripping .

For the patient, particularly those with sensitive or already damaged skin, "No Sting" alcohol-free formulas provide painless protection, allowing ostomy pouches, external catheters, or wound dressings to adhere securely without causing further trauma . The wipe dries quickly (under 30 seconds), provides an effective waterproof barrier for up to 96 hours, and removes easily with soap and water .
