Daily Diabetes Management
For people living with diabetes, proper skin preparation is key to ensuring safe and sterile insulin delivery. Whether it’s preparing for a syringe injection, insulin pen injection, or to insert the cannula of an infusion set, making sure the site is clean and bacteria free will help minimize the risk of infection.
Proper skin prep is also important to prevent complications and sample contamination before pricking the finger when measuring blood sugar using a glucose meter and test strips.
Advanced skin adhesive products can also help hold continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors, such as those for the popular Dexcom G6, securely and comfortably affixed to the body, providing the user with the confidence to move about freely, as well as the peace-of-mind that comes with accurate blood sugar readings.
Wound Care & Post Operative Treatment
Dressing traumatic wounds and properly caring for surgical sites is another area where skin preparation is crucial. It’s important to keep these areas sterile when changing dressings and to safely remove any sticky adhesive left behind once a dressing or surgical tape is removed.
Ostomy Care
Living with an ostomy pouch (one piece or two piece) is necessary for individuals who have experienced colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy surgery. Skin preparation is critically important in caring for ostomy sites to ensure a secure and pain-free fit, prevent leakage, and minimize the risk of any complications.
