5466000040 Opsite Flexifix 2 Inch x 11 Yards Transparent Film Dressing

This works amazingly; it stays put even on hot, sticky days when I'm out and about, after showering, and even after an occasional dip in a friend's pool. I had been using large, waterproof patch bandages, but they would fall off and the patch I was wearing had to be thrown out. This not only sticks very well, but I also don't have any skin irritation. I highly recommend it.

I have tried many other types of medical tape in the past 10 or so years I been using my pump and cgm. Some would not stick at all. Some would fall off before 24 hours passed. Some lasted a couple days. Some gave me nasty rashes. I found this flexifix tape and fell in love. I am back for more. My last roll I ordered in April or May and finally needing to reorder. I use a little bit with every site change for my insulin pump and every cgm change. It stays on the entire life of the infusion set or sensor (3 days, a week) and I have to pull it off its still stuck there. In the summer months or when I will be in a lot of water I put mastisol under it and it works great. The top clear grid layer (that pulls off after you stick it on) is great so you can cut in a straight line to the size you need. For around my infusion set I use 4 pieces that are 2 grids wide (the full 2 inch length) and place it around all 4 sides of my infusion set. For my glucose sensor I cut three 2 grid wide pieces and place around the top of the sensor to anchor it in as the sensor doesn't have a lot of tape there. Then I place a small piece about 3-4 grids markings back under where my transmitter will lay to prevent the transmitter from irritating my skin. Then I cut 2 longer pieces and place one over the top of the sensor and one over the back side of the transmitter. I do not fully cover it as I noticed in the past when I did I would sweat under it and it had no where to go and would make the tape fall off...I wonder if thats some of the problem others complained about. I swim, shower, use hot tubs, etc with this tape and never have an issue. I have very sensitive skin and reacted to other products by this company and I do not react at all to this tape. Please Smiths and Nephew do not discontinue this tape.

"Keep exercising normally" and "wear this sticky thing for two weeks" are incompatible statements. This stuff works way better than whatever slime tape they ship with the Bardy monitors. Of course, prep is key. Clean your skin thoroughly with some prep pads and let your skin dry completely before applying. There is no getting around it being itchy and uncomfortable, but at least it's doing what it's supposed to be doing.

Keeps a patch in place. Stays in place for baths or swimming. Thin and not noticeable on skin.

My dexcom was terrific until it began leaving a nasty, itchy rash that would take a month to disappear. I looked like a giant octopus attacked me. I ran out of options so I ordered this product. Skeptical but it worked. Post shower I use an alcohol prep pad, then the skin prep pad, layer this product next (with a small hole cut out for needle) and then the sensor. I still have a reddish patch but it is not itchy and allows me to use the dexcom which is vital for my accountability. Hope u don’t get a rash’ but if you do…. It’s worth a try

Cheaper than Tagaderm and sticks better. If you are using this over your meds patches (Duragesic or Estrodiol) you'll easily get 3+ days of reliable coverage. Also awesome for those nasty little cold weather dry finger tip cracks. Read the directions for applying! They have a method for removing the backing/grid materials and applying that is fool proof. If you do not follow their directions this adhesive will make you cranky. Awesome for home use! If you are wearing medical gloves, applying this stuff may be a bit frustrating. 4 our of 5 Stars because they are not entirely user friendly and the materials has (on occasion) cause me to get a teensy bit rashy.

This stuff sticks very well

Great for my emergency kit. I've been a nurse over thirty years and I've use opsite dressing extensively and wouldn't be without it in my kit.
