About
Unique range to help reduce skin trauma during adhesive dressing removal.
The removal of adhesive medical devices and dressings is not only associated with increased nursing time due to the pain, anxiety and difficulty it can cause, but repeated application and removal can also cause damage and result in medical adhesive related skin injuries (MARSIs) such as skin stripping and can also increase the risk of infection.
Appeel Sterile Medical Adhesive Remover is designed for quick and easy removal of medical adhesive devices and dressings, preventing MARSIs, reducing pain and the risk of infection. It can be used on intact and injured skin and is ideal for those with fragile skin such as babies and the elderly, or for blistering conditions like epidermolysis bullosa.
Evidence shows that the inert fluid in Appeel Sterile Medical Adhesive Remover is not metabolised by the skin, ensuring that it is safe to use on injured skin and will not impact wound healing¹.
All Appeel Sterile products are made of healthcare-grade silicones which are no-sting (alcohol-free) and dry quickly leaving no residue. This allows for adhesive medical devices and dressings to be re-applied shortly after use.
