Description
NO-STING SKIN-PREP◊ is a liquid film-forming skin preparation that upon application to intact or damaged skin, forms a protective interface that helps prepare skin attachment sites for drainage tubes, external catheters, surrounding ostomy sites and other adhesive dressings.
For external use only. Keep out of the reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes. In the case of accidental contact, flush eyes well with water. Do not apply directly to open wounds or in deep puncture wounds. Should redness or other signs of irritation appear, discontinue use.

For OTC applications, please follow Directions and Instructions for Use provided by your physician, nurse or healthcare professional. If no instructions were provided, follow the directions below:
Skin should be clean and dry prior to application of NO-STING SKIN-PREP◊.
Apply a uniform coating over entire area you wish to protect, i.e., around stoma, under dressing, catheter site, etc.
NO-STING SKIN-PREP◊ will dry in approximately 30 seconds. If you miss an area that you intended to cover, wait until the original area of application has dried, then reapply to the missed area.
For maximum protection, an optional second coating of NO-STING SKIN-PREP◊ may be applied and allowed to dry before covering area with dressing or other adhesive product.
If NO-STING SKIN-PREP◊ is applied to an area with skin folds or other skin-to-skin contact, make sure that skin-contact areas are separated to allow the coating to thoroughly dry before returning to normal position.
The removal of adhesive products may also remove NO-STING SKIN-PREP◊, so reapplication is necessary any time that adhesive products are changed.
