removing sticky residue from monitors in hospital?

Baby oil works well for sticky residue on the skin or any surface. Trim hair around the area, if you can. Soak the area with baby oil for a few minutes and ta-dah...it gently removes the residue. Repeat, if necessary.

Try some baby oil with a cotton ball or q-tip. The baby oil will leave a residue that you will have to get off with some rubbing alcohol. Goo Gone works wonders too, but I personally think it smells terrible.

I work on a medical surgery floor and although Im not a nurse I have removed a few tele monitor tabs and saline lock ivs and I found alcohol pads work just fine,then I will wash the area with soap and water,

I work on a heart floor as a nurse and this is an ongoing battle, your best bet it's to try baby oil, it usually does the trick!

lol....was in the hospital for three days this spring with ventral affibulation. That dang adhesive stayed with me for weeks!

Maybe... make it hard by putting an icecube on it.... and cut it out of his hair? Maybe treat it like getting bubblegum in your hair?

I'm not hairy, so, it was easy for me!

Good luck... hope it comes out easily!

Rubbing alcohol is the easiest and least painful solution.

You could try swarfega it is a hand cleanser which will remove the gell

Rubbing alcohol works on hard sufaces. Maybe it would work on people too.

Rubbing alcholol?

fingernail polish remover. smells awful but shouldn't hurt. then a good hot soapy shower.
