Product Overview
B. Braun Ally Adhesive Remover (REF 2005-1) is a medical-grade silicone spray engineered for rapid, sting-free dissolution of adhesive bonds between medical devices and skin. The 50 ml aerosol canister delivers a fine, controlled mist of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) that penetrates the adhesive-skin interface, enabling smooth separation of ostomy skin barriers, wound dressings, surgical tapes, and securement devices without epidermal stripping or mechanical trauma.
The product features B. Braun's proprietary bag-on-valve (BOV) technology, which physically separates the nitrogen propellant from the silicone solution within a four-layer vacuum bag. This design ensures the solution remains uncontaminated throughout the 3-year shelf life, permits multi-directional dispensing (including inverted use), and eliminates propellant-solution mixing that can compromise product consistency. The nitrogen propellant is environmentally benign and CFC-free. Following application, HMDSO evaporates completely within seconds, leaving no residue and enabling immediate re-application of adhesive appliances. Manufactured under ISO 13485 quality management by B. Braun Melsungen AG, Germany.

Clinical Indications
- Painless removal of ostomy skin barriers and flanges during routine colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy appliance changes
- Atraumatic separation of wound dressings including foam, hydrocolloid, film, and silicone-bordered dressings from periwound skin
- Dissolution of adhesive residue from surgical tapes, IV catheter securement devices, and monitoring electrodes
- Peristomal skin protection in patients with medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) or irritant contact dermatitis
- Use in patients with fragile skin including paediatric, geriatric, and immunocompromised populations
- Pre-application skin preparation to ensure clean adhesion surface before fitting new ostomy appliances
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes the bag-on-valve technology clinically advantageous?
A: B. Braun's BOV system isolates the nitrogen propellant from the HMDSO solution within a sealed four-layer vacuum bag. This prevents propellant-solution interaction, maintains consistent spray quality from first to last use, and enables dispensing in any canister orientation — including inverted. The design extends shelf life to 3 years while ensuring pharmaceutical-grade purity throughout, consistent with ISO 10993 biocompatibility requirements.
Q: How does B. Braun Ally compare to other silicone-based adhesive removers?
A: All silicone-based (HMDSO) adhesive removers share the same active mechanism. Ally differentiates through its BOV dispensing technology, nitrogen propellant (more environmentally sustainable than hydrocarbon propellants), multi-directional spray capability, and 3-year shelf stability. Clinical performance for adhesive dissolution and skin protection is comparable across HMDSO-based products per European Wound Management Association (EWMA) consensus recommendations.
Q: Can Ally Adhesive Remover be used on broken or excoriated peristomal skin?
A: Yes. The alcohol-free, sting-free HMDSO formulation is specifically indicated for use on compromised skin surfaces. B. Braun Ally has been assessed for biocompatibility per ISO 10993 standards. The World Council of Enterostomal Therapists (WCET) recommends silicone-based adhesive removers as standard of care for patients presenting with peristomal skin complications classified on the DET (Discolouration, Erosion, Tissue overgrowth) scale.
Q: Is B. Braun Ally Adhesive Remover available in Singapore?
A: Yes. B. Braun Ally Adhesive Remover Spray 50 ml is stocked and distributed by EMIS (Essential Medical International Supplies Pte Ltd) in Singapore. The product is classified as a Class I medical device under the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) regulatory framework. Healthcare facilities and individual patients can order through emis.asia with local delivery.
Q: Does the spray leave residue that could affect subsequent appliance adhesion?
A: No. HMDSO evaporates completely and rapidly after application, leaving a clean, residue-free skin surface. Clinical data confirm that subsequent ostomy appliance wear time and wound dressing adhesion are not compromised when silicone-based adhesive removers are used, provided the skin is allowed to dry fully before new device application as recommended by EWMA best practice guidelines.
