Adhesive Remover

Medical Adhesive Remover

Medical adhesive removers are designed to break down sticky residue left behind my medical device adhesives. Adhesives are used to secure a wide variety of medical devices, including catheters, syringes, anesthesia masks, tracheostomy tubes, ostomy pouches, respiratory devices, and more. Even common hydrocolloid dressings and bandages can leave behind potentially damaging adhesive revenue. If not properly removed, left-over adhesive can result in medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI). MARSI can have several uncomfortable symptoms, such as skin tearing, blistering, and dermatitis.

However, this condition can often be prevented by the effective use of medical adhesive removers. Medical adhesive removers are also capable of painlessly eliminating residues from both acrylic and rubber-based medical adhesives. Due to their wide variety of applications, medical adhesive removers are available as wipes, sprays, and pads.

Best Adhesive Remover

Most nurses prefer to use silicone-based adhesive removers. Silicone-based products allow complete removal of medical adhesive residue without causing dryness or irritation. In contrast, alcohol-based solutions cause blood vessel constriction and dry out the skin. However, both silicone and alcohol-based medical adhesive removers evaporate quickly, leaving no residual wetness. Ideally, adhesive removers should be sting-free, silicone-based, and able to fully remove skin barrier adhesive residue.

Water can remove medical adhesive in a pinch, but the wetness it leaves behind can damage certain devices. Oils and lotions have a similar drawback in that they often leave behind a sticky residue that can interfere with sensitive medical equipment. In some cases, adhesives are specially designed to dissolve upon coming in contact with specific solvents, such as mineral water. Therefore, the best adhesive remover is the one that meets your unique needs.

Adhesive Remover Wipes

Wipes are a convenient, all-in-one solution for removing medical adhesives. Designed to deliver just the right amount of adhesive remover, wipes and pads allow for easy cleanup and minimal mess. Adhesive remover wipes are also particularly user friendly, allowing patients to feel confident in managing their own at-home care. Though the overuse of wipes can be wasteful, smaller adhesive remover pads are available to reduce waste.

Be sure to carefully read product instructions on both your medical devices and adhesives to determine which adhesive remover is appropriate.
