Appeel® - Wound Care
Removing adhesive dressings can be both damaging and painful to the skin. When fragile skin is damaged or peri-wound skin is stripped, it can lead to extended healing time. Appeel is a silicone based no sting medical adhesive remover that removes adhesive from any part of the body easily and painlessly, and dries in seconds. Appeel wipes can be used to remove any residue left on the skin.
Appeel is even gentle enough to use on sensitive skin, such as the blistering skin condition Epidermolysis Bullosa. Appeel wipes can be used to remove any residue left from dressings. Appeel dries in seconds and will not affect the adhesion of your next dressing.
Appeel Spray
Appeel spray makes adhesive removal quick and painless. Just spray around the edge of the adhesive and wait a few seconds:
- No sting formula
- Can be sprayed at any angle, allowing access to hard to reach areas
- Contains a moisturiser
- No need to wash off
- Dries quickly, leaving surface ready for next adhesion
- Silicone based
Appeel Wipes
Appeel moist wipes make removal of adhesive residue easy. Using an Appeel wipe you can gently remove adhesive build up without damaging skin:
- No sting formula
- Removes adhesive residue in seconds

Appeel should be tested on a small area of skin before use on damaged skin. We suggest a small amount of Appeel is applied inside the forearm (to date, no adverse reactions have been reported).

How to use Appeel
Absorbent dressings
Spray Appeel on top and around
the edge of the dressing and wait
a few seconds. Gently peel back
the dressing, applying additional Appeel if needed.
Waterproof dressings & electrode pads
Appeel will not soak through waterproof dressings; therefore, gently peel back the corner of the dressing, spray Appeel around
the edge and wait 30 seconds.
Continue to peel back the dressing, applying more Appeel as necessary.
Before applying another adhesive product, wait 30 seconds for Appeel to evaporate.
