Torbot Skin-Tac Adhesive Barrier Wipes — Tacky Skin Prep for Ostomy, Tapes & Medical Devices, Box of 50
Sticks better. Lasts longer. Protects skin while it holds. Torbot Skin-Tac Adhesive Barrier Wipes are a unique dual-action skin prep product — they create a tacky adhesive layer on the skin that improves the hold of ostomy appliances, medical tapes, wound dressings, infusion sets, and compression stockings, while simultaneously forming a protective barrier between the adhesive and the skin to reduce irritation. The 78–82% isopropyl alcohol formula dries quickly, leaving a thin, flexible, clear film that conforms to body movement and stays comfortable all day. Benzoin-free. Hypoallergenic. Latex-free. Individually wrapped for hygiene and portability. Removes easily with alcohol. Available in a box of 50 wipes — also available as a liquid in 4 oz and 8 oz bottles. SKU MS407-W.

Features & Benefits
- Dual Action — Adhesion AND Skin Protection — Most skin prep products do one thing: improve adhesion. Skin-Tac does both. It deposits a tacky film that acts as a primer layer between the skin and the medical adhesive — the adhesive bonds to the Skin-Tac film rather than directly to skin. This improves hold strength and wear time while simultaneously protecting the skin surface from the chemical and mechanical stress of repeated adhesive application and removal. For patients who change ostomy appliances or wound dressings frequently, this dual action meaningfully reduces peristomal or periwound skin breakdown over time.
- Benzoin-Free — Better Tolerated on Sensitive Skin — Traditional tincture of benzoin products are effective skin prep agents but contain benzoin resin, which is a known sensitizer — repeated use can trigger allergic contact dermatitis, particularly in patients already managing compromised peristomal skin. Skin-Tac delivers equivalent or superior tackiness without benzoin, making it the clinically preferred choice for patients with sensitive skin or a history of reactions to benzoin-containing products.
- Fast-Drying Tacky Film — The isopropyl alcohol carrier evaporates rapidly after application, leaving the tacky protective film behind within seconds. No extended wait time before applying the barrier or dressing — a meaningful advantage for patients managing multiple steps in a pouching system change.
- Flexible — Moves With the Body — The thin film conforms to contours and flexes with skin movement throughout the day. Rigid skin prep films can crack at flex points and break the adhesive seal. Skin-Tac's flexible film maintains contact at the skin interface regardless of activity level.
- Versatile — Works With Everything You Stick to Skin — Ostomy appliances, wound dressings, border dressings, medical tape, infusion set adhesives, CGMS sensors, compression stocking adhesion — Skin-Tac improves the hold and protects the skin across the full range of adhesive medical applications. It is not an ostomy-only product.
- Individually Wrapped — Hygienic & Travel-Ready — Each wipe is sealed in its own packet for single-use hygiene. The compact individual packets are easy to carry in a travel kit, bag, or clinical supply tray. Do not use a wipe from an opened packet.
- Removes Easily With Alcohol — Skin-Tac film lifts cleanly with standard isopropyl alcohol — no dedicated adhesive remover required. Routine skin cleansing before the next pouch change is sufficient for most patients.
Skin-Tac Wipes vs. Skin-Tac Liquid — Which Format Is Right for You?
| Feature | Skin-Tac Wipes (MS407-W) | Skin-Tac Liquid (MS407-4 / MS407-B) |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Individually wrapped single-use wipes | Liquid bottle — applied with gauze or fingers |
| Best For | Travel · Home use · Hygienic single-use application | High-volume home or clinical use · More economical per application |
| Portability | Excellent — compact individual packets | Less portable — open bottle |
| Shipping Restriction | None — ships standard | Flammable — cannot ship overnight |
| Formula | Same — isopropyl alcohol base, tacky film | Same — isopropyl alcohol base, tacky film |
| Cost Per Use | Slightly higher | More economical for frequent use |
Bottom line: Same formula, same result. Choose wipes for travel, convenience, or hygienic single-use preference. Choose liquid if you use Skin-Tac at every pouch change and want the most economical format. Many patients keep wipes for travel and liquid at home.
How to Use Skin-Tac Adhesive Barrier Wipes
- Clean and dry the skin surface thoroughly before application.
- Open a fresh, sealed Skin-Tac wipe packet. Do not use a wipe from a previously opened packet.
- Wipe the Skin-Tac wipe across the skin area where the ostomy appliance, tape, or dressing will be applied. Cover the full adhesion area evenly.
- Allow to dry briefly — the alcohol carrier evaporates quickly, leaving the tacky protective film behind.
- Apply the skin barrier, tape, or dressing as normal. Press firmly to ensure full contact with the Skin-Tac film.
- To remove: apply isopropyl alcohol to the skin around the adhesive edge and peel back slowly.
