ConvaTec's AllKare® Protective Barrier Wipes provide a barrier film layer on skin used under tapes, skin barriers, adhesive, and hydrocolloid dressings to help protect against irritation, excoriation and adhesive build-up.  Non-water soluble barrier that resists breakdown and “breathes” for greater comfort.  Clinically tested for safety and efficacy with Stomahesive® and Durahesive® skin barriers.  Thin, comfortable film that helps protect against skin stripping and irritation caused by the application and removal of adhesives such as ostomy skin barriers and tapes.
