Overview of the SABRE Decon Soothe Step II Decontamination Spray | SDS-40
Secondary Relief for High-Stress Exposure
Exposure to OC, CS, or CN chemical agents is a physically demanding experience that requires more than just a simple water rinse. The SABRE Decon Soothe Step II is a professional-grade decontamination spray designed to act as the second stage in a complete recovery protocol. After the initial chemical irritant has been addressed, the SDS-40 focuses on moisturizing the skin and neutralizing the lingering burning sensation that often follows tactical deployments. This formula is critical for reducing downtime and ensuring that both officers and subjects can recover in a safe, controlled manner.
The Power of a Two-Step System
Effective decontamination is rarely a single-step event. For the best results, professionals utilize a systematic approach to ensure all chemical oils are removed and the skin is properly calmed. It is highly recommended to use this product after utilizing Step 1 (cleanse), which is available here: https://wcuniforms.com/products/sabre-decon-cleanse-step-i-sdc-40. While the first step removes the agent, the SABRE Decon Soothe Step II (MPN SDS-40) prevents the dreaded "OC hangover," where irritation reactivates during physical exertion or bathing later in the day.
Trusted Field Performance
This 4-ounce solution is a staple in intake areas, patrol cruisers, and training kits because it works quickly and reliably. The non-toxic and non-flammable formula is pH-balanced to be gentle on the skin while providing intense cooling relief. Whether you are finishing a certification drill at the academy or processing a subject after a field arrest, this spray provides the confidence that the irritation will stop here.

Frequently Asked Questions about Decon Soothe Step II
