I.V. Prep by Smith & Nephew. I get mine from Advanced Medical, who also supplies my insulin, glucose tabs, cartridges and reservoirs.

Skin Prep by Smith & Nephew. I got it locally at first but found it cheaper on Ebay, even with shipping it was cheaper.

I just use alcohol pads. Am I missing something? I don't have any problems with the infusion set sticking.

IV Prep is just an alcohol pad with some "sticky" stuff in it. Helps to keep sets stay stuck.

I stopped using IV prep about two months ago. I was having a harder time keeping sets attached with it than without it. Alcohol pads seem to work better, but honestly, I just put them on without anything.

Oh....the question. I have a ton of IV prep and it is Smith & Nephew.
