About AloeTouch Protect™ Skin Protectant Wipes with Dimethicone, Unscented
Medline AloeTouch® Protect™ Skin Protectant Wipes with Dimethicone are a 3-in-1 pre-moistened wipe that cleans, moisturizes, and protects the skin in a single step — without the need for rinsing or additional skin care products. The rinse-free formula is built around 3.2% dimethicone, an FDA-recognized skin protectant active ingredient that forms a breathable, moisture-repelling barrier on the skin surface to help protect delicate tissue from incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) and moisture-related skin breakdown. Enriched with soothing aloe vera, the formula leaves skin feeling hydrated and refreshed after every use. The needlepunch cloth construction is medium-weight, super-soft, and gentle — suitable for the most sensitive and fragile skin. The pH-balanced, hypoallergenic formula contains no fragrance, alcohol, or latex, reducing the risk of irritation for patients with reactive or compromised skin. Single patient use packaging reduces the risk of cross-contamination in clinical and home care settings, and the wipes can be used at room temperature or warmed in a standard wipe warmer for enhanced patient comfort. Ideal for perineal care, incontinence management, and full-body cleansing during bed baths.
Key Benefits & Features
- 3.2% Dimethicone Skin Protectant: Dimethicone is an FDA-recognized over-the-counter skin protectant active ingredient that forms a protective, breathable barrier on the skin surface. This barrier repels moisture and helps prevent incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) — one of the most common and painful skin complications in incontinent patients — by shielding the skin from prolonged contact with urine, stool, and friction.
- 3-in-1 Rinse-Free Formula: Each wipe cleans, moisturizes, and protects the skin in a single application without requiring water or rinsing. This streamlines perineal care and incontinence management, reduces the number of products needed at the bedside, and minimizes skin exposure to repeated soap-and-water washing that can strip the skin's natural moisture barrier.
- Soothing Aloe Vera for Comfort and Hydration: Aloe vera is infused into the formula to provide natural soothing and hydrating benefits, leaving skin feeling cool, comfortable, and moisturized after every wipe. This is particularly beneficial for patients with sensitive, dry, or inflamed skin who need extra comfort with their cleansing routine.
- Super-Soft Needlepunch Cloth Construction: The medium-weight needlepunch cloth is super-soft against the skin, providing gentle coverage without abrasion or irritation — making it appropriate for perineal tissue, compromised skin, post-operative care, and other applications requiring a delicate touch.
- pH-Balanced, Hypoallergenic, and Free from Fragrance and Alcohol: The formula is pH-balanced to support the skin's natural acid mantle, hypoallergenic to minimize allergic reactions, and free from fragrance, alcohol, and latex — making it a safe and gentle choice for the most reactive or sensitive patient populations.
- Single Patient Use to Reduce Cross-Contamination Risk: Designed for single patient use, each wipe is used once and discarded, helping to reduce the risk of cross-contamination between patients in clinical settings and maintaining hygiene during incontinence care.
- Use at Room Temperature or Warmed: The wipes can be used directly at room temperature or warmed in a standard wipe warmer for a more comfortable, soothing experience — particularly valuable for bedridden patients who benefit from the added comfort of a warm wipe during personal care.
Who Should Be Using This?
AloeTouch® Protect™ Skin Protectant Wipes are appropriate for caregivers and healthcare professionals managing incontinence care, perineal hygiene, and bed baths for adult patients — particularly those at risk of incontinence-associated dermatitis, moisture-related skin breakdown, or pressure injuries. They are suitable for use in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home care settings. Do not flush wipes in the toilet.
How Do You Use or Apply This Product?
Open the individual pack or resealable soft pack and remove one wipe. Gently cleanse the skin using the wipe, covering the perineal area or other skin surface requiring care. No rinsing is required — the formula is designed to remain on the skin after use to provide continued moisturization and protection. Dispose of used wipes in a trash bin — do not flush. For warmed use, place the wipe pack in a standard wipe warmer before use.
