Full details

FAQs
How often should I use Brava Skin Barrier Wipes?
It is recommended to use a wipe every time you change your ostomy appliance to ensure continuous skin protection.
Can I use these wipes on broken skin?
These wipes are designed for intact skin to prevent irritation. If you have broken or severely irritated skin, consult with your healthcare provider or ostomy nurse before use.
How long does the barrier film last?
The barrier film typically lasts for up to 24-72 hours, depending on skin condition and the type of ostomy appliance used. However, it is best practice to reapply with each appliance change.
Are these wipes latex-free?
Information on specific ingredient lists, including latex content, can usually be found on the product packaging or by contacting the manufacturer directly.
Can I use these wipes on other areas of the body?
While designed for ostomy care, they may offer protection for other areas prone to friction, but always test on a small area first and consult a healthcare professional if unsure.
What is the shelf life of the wipes?
Please refer to the expiration date printed on the product packaging. Store as directed to maintain efficacy.
Troubleshooting
Wipe leaves a sticky residue
Ensure the film is fully dry before applying the ostomy appliance. You may be applying the wipe too thickly; try using a thinner layer.
Skin feels irritated after application
Discontinue use immediately and consult with a healthcare professional or ostomy nurse. While rare, some individuals may have sensitivities to the ingredients.
Film does not seem to dry quickly
Ensure the skin is completely dry before application. Avoid excessive wiping; one to two passes should suffice. Ensure the environment is not overly humid.
