Appeel® - Continence
Removing adhesive products such as sheaths or BioDerm® can be both damaging and painful to the skin. Alcohol adhesive removers are traditionally used to remove adhesives, but alcohol is known to sting.
Appeel is a silicone based, rather than alcohol based, no sting medical adhesive remover that removes continence products easily and painlessly. Appeel is gentle enough to use on sensitive skin, such as that of babies, and makes adhesive removal quick and painless. Appeel dries in seconds and will not affect the adhesion of your next sheath. Appeel wipes can be used to remove any residue left on the skin.
