IV Prep Antiseptic Wipes are single-use, individually packaged pre-saturated wipes that contain an antiseptic solution. They are manufactured by Smith and Nephew, a medical technology company based in the UK. These wipes are used for disinfecting the skin before injection, IV starts, and other medical procedures to reduce the risk of infection. They are specifically designed to provide a quick and easy way to prepare the skin for medical interventions.

IV Prep Antiseptic Wipes contain a solution of isopropyl alcohol and providone-iodine, which work together to effectively clean the skin and kill bacteria. The alcohol helps to remove dirt and oils, while the iodine acts as an antiseptic agent to kill any harmful organisms that may be present on the skin. The wipes also form a protective barrier on the skin, preventing the entry of new bacteria and reducing the risk of infection. This makes them ideal for use before procedures such as IV insertion, where a clean and disinfected surface is essential.

Smith and Nephew IV Prep Antiseptic Wipes are a one-step, topical skin antiseptic wipe that leaves behind a clear barrier film on the skin prior to IV injections around site that cleans and protects the skin from germs and skin damaging adhesives.

FAQs About Skin Prep Pads
  • What Is a Skin-Prep Pad Used For?

    Forms a protective barrier between skin and adhesives, tapes, or ostomy appliances Reduces skin stripping, irritation, and medical adhesive-related injuries Preps skin before applying wound dressings, catheters, IVs, or ostomy bags Creates a longer-lasting, hypoallergenic stick for secure dressing/stoma care

  • What Is the Purpose of Skin-Prep?

    The main purpose is to protect fragile or sensitive skin from breakdown, irritation, moisture, and friction associated with repeated use of adhesives, dressings, and medical devices.

  • Are Skin-Prep and Skin Barrier the Same Thing?

    Skin prep pads and skin barrier films are similar, often used interchangeably. Skin prep is a type of skin barrier—usually a liquid solution or wipe that dries to form a protective film (examples: Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep, 3M Cavilon).

  • Where to Apply Skin-Prep?

    Directly to clean, dry skin where you’ll place adhesives, tapes, ostomy appliances, or dressings. Around stoma sites, under tapes, or on pressure-prone areas.

  • How to Use Prep Pads?

    Clean and dry the skin. Open the pad and gently apply a thin, even layer to the area where medical adhesive will be placed. Allow to air dry (usually for 30 seconds to 1 minute) until skin feels smooth and non-tacky. After it’s dry, apply dressing, tape, or device as usual.

  • When Should You Not Use Skin-Prep?

    Avoid use on open wounds, deep cuts, burns, or broken/infected skin (unless specifically indicated by a healthcare provider). Not suitable for patients with a known allergy to ingredients in the prep pad.

  • Can You Put Skin Prep on an Open Wound?

    No—skin prep pads are for intact skin only, and should NOT be used directly on open wounds unless directed by a wound care specialist.

  • What Do Surgeons Put on Skin Before Cutting?

    Surgical prep solutions (chlorhexidine, povidone-iodine) are used before incisions for infection control. Skin-prep pads are for barrier protection, not primary antimicrobial surgical prep.

  • What Is the Best Skin Prep?

    Alcohol-based preps for general use (Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep, 3M Cavilon No Sting) Non-alcohol, sensitive skin preps for fragile skin or pediatrics The best prep matches the patient’s needs and the adhesive/device being used.

  • Why Does the Skin Around My Stoma Burn?

    Skin irritation/“burn” happens when adhesives, leakage, or moisture damage skin. A quality skin prep can help prevent this by providing a protective barrier. Consult your stoma nurse for persistent burning or rash.

  • Why Is Skin Prep So Important?

    Maintains skin integrity, prevents medical adhesive–related injuries (MARSI), increases dressing/device adherence, and reduces long-term skin complications during ongoing medical care.

  • What Can You Use Instead of Skin Prep?

    Petroleum jelly/ointment (for non-adhesive needs) Silicone barrier sprays or wipes (for sensitive skin) Powder + protective barrier wipes (for moist or fragile skin, especially in ostomy care) Always consult with a wound/ostomy care nurse before substituting.

  • How to Remove Skin Prep from Skin?

    Gently wipe with warm, soapy water or a medical adhesive remover wipe if the barrier is thick or sticky. Avoid scrubbing—soak and pat gently until residue lifts.
