| Protect the skin
before the adhesive goes on |
If you don’t have access to barrier wipes to apply to the skin
before applying adhesive and you suspect the patient is
sensitive, you can apply a thin film of Milk of Magnesia to
the skin, let it dry and then apply the tape. This has worked
successfully for several of my adhesive sensitive pts and is
easy for them to obtain.
