Esenta Sting Free Adhesive Remover Spray Gentle Skin Protection 50 ml and 150 ml

Product Overview

ConvaTec ESENTA Sting Free Adhesive Remover Spray delivers a controlled, fine-mist application of medical-grade hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) to dissolve adhesive bonds between medical devices and skin. The spray format enables precise, targeted application at the adhesive-skin interface, allowing clinicians and patients to direct the silicone solution exactly where separation is needed. Available in 50 ml (REF 6250) and 150 ml (REF 6251) presentations, the product accommodates both acute-care and long-term home-use requirements.

The alcohol-free formulation eliminates the stinging sensation commonly associated with solvent-based adhesive removers, making it suitable for patients with compromised, excoriated, or newly healed skin. Following application, HMDSO evaporates completely within 30 to 60 seconds, leaving no residue that could interfere with subsequent appliance adhesion or skin barrier application. ESENTA spray is CHG-compatible and manufactured under ISO 13485-certified quality management systems by ConvaTec Ltd.

Specifications

Clinical Indications

• Rapid removal of ostomy skin barriers, flanges, and wafers during routine colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy appliance changes
• Painless separation of wound dressings including foam, hydrocolloid, film, and silicone-bordered dressings from periwound skin
• Dissolution of adhesive residue from surgical tapes, IV securement devices, ECG electrodes, and condom catheters
• Peristomal skin care in patients with medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) or irritant contact dermatitis
• Use in paediatric, geriatric, and oncology patients where skin fragility necessitates atraumatic adhesive removal
• Pre-application preparation to remove old adhesive residue before fitting new ostomy appliances or wound dressings

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the 50 ml and 150 ml presentations?

A: Both contain the identical HMDSO formulation. The 50 ml spray is designed for individual patient use and portability, while the 150 ml format is more economical for clinical settings with higher throughput of appliance changes or dressing removal procedures.

Q: How does ESENTA spray compare to adhesive remover wipes?

A: The spray format provides targeted, no-touch application to the adhesive-skin interface without requiring direct manual contact with the peristomal or periwound area. This is particularly advantageous for patients with limited dexterity, painful peristomal skin, or when removing dressings from large surface areas. Wipes offer a controlled, pre-measured dose of solution and are preferred for travel and discrete appliance changes.

Q: Is the spray safe to use around stoma mucosa?

A: ESENTA is formulated for application to intact and compromised peristomal skin. While incidental contact with stoma mucosa is not expected to cause harm, the spray should be directed at the adhesive-skin junction rather than directly onto the stoma. The World Council of Enterostomal Therapists (WCET) recommends silicone-based adhesive removers as standard of care for atraumatic appliance removal.

Q: Can I purchase ESENTA Adhesive Remover Spray in Singapore?

A: Yes. ESENTA Sting Free Adhesive Remover Spray is available through 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. Both 50 ml and 150 ml sizes can be ordered through emis.asia with delivery across Singapore.

Q: Does the spray leave any residue that affects subsequent appliance adhesion?

A: No. HMDSO evaporates completely within 30 to 60 seconds, leaving a clean, residue-free skin surface. Clinical data confirm that subsequent ostomy appliance wear time and dressing adhesion are not compromised when ESENTA is used, provided the skin is allowed to dry fully before new device application per European Wound Management Association (EWMA) best practice guidelines.
