EASY OFF Detachol and Dynarex are both effective at removing adhesives from patients' skin.
SKIN ADHESIVE REMOVERS
Pull Off Adhesive Tape Without the Ouch
Nothing's worse than when patients wince in pain when you remove adhesive film dressings or tape from their skin. To reduce patient discomfort and leave the skin free of sticky residue, we use easy-to-apply adhesive removers: Detachol, which comes in a crushable vial, and Dynarex, an impregnated wipe. Both work great.
