Everyone at Rhodes Pharma is delighted that StoCare Remove remains the most chosen medical adhesive remover on the UK market.
According to the May 2025 NHS electronic prescribing data, StoCare Remove is the most prescribed medical adhesive remover in the UK, and has consistently been a top choice. This is a testament to how stoma nurses and other healthcare professionals feel about our trusted product that has consistently offered the best value for money for the NHS since 2016 without compromising on quality.
StoCare Remove XL 100ml spray is the most cost-effective medical adhesive remover for the NHS at £4.90 per 50ml on drug tariff, with our 50ml spray following closely behind at £4.95 per 50ml.
In fact, if StoCare was prescribed in every instance, it could offer the NHS savings in excess of £1 million a month. That equates to a cost saving of 34%. In today’s state of affairs, where ICBs are under increasing pressure to make cuts, we feel strongly about offering the best quality products at the best possible prices.
Our trusted silicone-based formula used in our StoCare Remove range is alcohol free and non-sting. It effectively removes medical adhesives such as stoma appliances and is gentle on even damaged or fragile peristomal skin. It is safe for daily use and dries almost instantly.
Bag-in-can technology in our spray cans means they can be sprayed at any angle, making them easy to use. This also means the entire can can be emptied so there is zero wastage. The propellant is air, meaning no volatile propellants are required – which is better for the environment and patients’ skin.
StoCare Remove wipes (the most cost-effective medical adhesive remover wipes on the market) have also earned great feedback from nurses for being bigger and more moist compared to other brands.
The prescribing data makes it clear that when looking for a reliable medical adhesive remover, StoCare Remove is the number one choice for healthcare professionals.
In addition, StoCare Remove is the leading medical adhesive remover on the direct-to-consumer market, dominating sales on Amazon. When given the choice, patients choose StoCare. We have many glowing reviews from users of StoCare Remove, including for the safe and quick removal of stoma appliances, insulin pumps/blood glucose monitors, HRT patches, bandages, plasters, and many more medical adhesives.
One patient said: “This is brilliant, a tiny amount goes a long way, it removes glue so easily, no mess, no fuss, no perfumes so no irritation, stores easily and a good price too. It lasts ages and doesn’t leave the skin feeling greasy or dry.”
Another said: “Absolutely superb at removing stubborn adhesive residue in seconds. Wearing medical patches with strong adhesive has been a pain. I’ve scrubbed with various things over the months but often the skin is red by the time I’ve managed to remove the adhesive left behind. These wipes are amazing, with almost no effort they remove all the remnants of the adhesive and don’t damage or dry out the skin. Highly recommend.”
Furthermore, we are proud to be taking steps to protect our planet. Our lids are 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, saving 3.8 tonnes of C02 emissions per year. Our premises use 100% green energy, we source recycled and recyclable packaging and optimise freight efficiency.
