Smith & Nephew NO-Sting Skin-PREP◊ Spray, Protective Dressing Spray, Alcohol-Free Skin Barrier Film, 1 Ounce

Very effective removing adhesive from your ostomy site great product I just wish it was a little less expensive

My mom's skin is so thin & tears so easily from being on prednisone. This really helps before before putting any adhesive on her

*UPDATE* Earlier this week I looked more carefully at the ingredient list for this product. One is problematic enough for me to opt to use another brand. Smith & Nephew Prep spray contains Diazolidinyl Urea. And, Diazolidinyl Urea acts as a formaldehyde releaser. This makes me so sad! Finally I’d found a method to be able to use tape, which truly was a game changer for me, but I cannot justify the health risk. This led me to another search for something that could work for me. What I had not tried before were any resin based skin barrier/prep products. I didn’t even know this was an option. I came across Skin-Tac. Which is resin based. Well, I had some of that stowed away in a drawer. It was left over from my very beloved dog who wore a glucose monitor due to diabetes. When I lost him a couple of years ago, I held onto the Skin-Tac mainly for sentimental reasons. I am now using Skin-Tac with no irritation so far, although its not been an entire week yet. ORIGINAL REVIEW I’ve had a g-tube for several years. Hyper granulation tissue has always been a problem for me. Although medical literature confirms that the mechanism behind this happening is not fully understood, it is agreed that movement and friction, if not the primary cause, do make it worse. I am also allergic to tape. Any tape. That makes it difficult to keep the tube from moving. However, I’ve found I tolerate tape when I apply the spray first. Over the years, clinicians suggest many ideas, none of which really work. For some years I had a button style g-tube, and that helped, not completely, but I could keep the granulation under control. When I had to switch back to the long tube style, the granulation came back with a vengeance. It seems that on the top of the list of suggestions for those with tape allergies are Cavillon barrier products. Well, they inflame my skin as much as tape does. In my quest to get things back under control, I searched online in Google Scholar, as well as regular Google. One of the first articles I came across lauded how much better Cavillon protected than it’s competitors, including Smith & Nephew. It showed all kinds of controlled tests demonstrating how much longer the film lasted. And that may be true, but it didn’t help me. FINALLY I read the release of a scholarly study that gave examples of actual cases with photographs of patients and their inflamed skin from the use of the Cavillon. The article concluded that the top offender of all the barrier products used in the study was Cavillon. I’m not anti Cavillon, it’s fine for many (obviously). But it never worked for me. It certainly forms a film, it’s just that the ingredients are ones that cause a reaction. I took a chance on Smith & Nephew. The ingredient list is very short. It works! I can apply tape to my abdomen and not blister. II can tolerate tape, thanks to the Smith & Nephew No Sting Prep Spray.

I used this product as a medical professional, and recently when I needed to protect a burn surface on my skin I purchased this product. The area healed sufficiently within a few days and the minor inflammation that was present, prior to use, was no longer an issue. This is a wonderful protectant for inflamed or damaged skin.

This stuff works well. I'm using with Dexcom G7 and I have to pry them off on day 10.

You have to use A LOT!! It's a small bottle that does go far. I used it with kenisio tape for sensitive skin,as recommended by the PT.

This very good for my skin it help soothe my skin especially when it gets a little irritated

DO NOT USE WITH DEXCOM Daughter is type 1 diabetic. She has a G6 Dexcom. I wanted to try this to protect her skin from the Dexcom patches as for whatever reason when we put the sensor on her stomach she gets a major rash. But arms/legs are perfectly fine. This stuff seemed to protect her skin. BUT it made the sensor not stick as well and fell off less then 24 hours later. waste of money. So now we lost a sensor. Thankfully I packed an extra since we were on vacation.
