Dexcom G7 Adhesive Patches Waterproof 20 Pack Dexcom Overpatch for G7 Flexible CGM Tape Hypoallergenic & Latex-Free G7 Overlay Patch for 10 Days Long Stay without Glue in The Center, Beige

The instructions are worthless.Before installing the sensor, to exfoliate the skin under the sensor and to ensure adhesion good enough for frequent lap swimming, I wash and scrub my skin with a washcloth, soap, and water.If you have sensitive skin, use a technique that works for you.I use lava soap. It might be relegated to the automotive department or order it with this order.I also include a scrub with 2% peroxide on a paper towel. Peroxide kills only those bacteria that contain catalase enzyme (the enzyme converts peroxide to oxygen gas and pops the bacterium), but it may help remove more dead skin.Then wet a paper towel with rubbing alcohol and scrub. Let it dry. 70% kills bacteria better than 90% but either works. With the loose dead skin removed, the sensor and patch will not come off until you want it to.After it expires, if I have trouble removing it, I sometimes use "goo (be)gone" water based adhesive dissolver, which I believe is harmless. This is not the similarly named "goof off," which is not safe for skin contact and probably wouldn't work anyway.Install the sensor in a place under your upper arm that both avoids muscle and lets you see it. If you can't see it, get someone to help. Alternate arms. If you haven't removed the old sensor, mark it with a sharpie.To achieve a smooth application of the patch, fold the patch in half across the two small edge papers. Remove one of the larger pieces leaving the exposed adhesive away from your skin. Place the unglued center cloth over the sensor and slide it around until no adhesive is going to touch the sensor. Then unroll the exposed side onto your skin. Next, partly remove the other large paper and fold so you'll be able to pull it out. Remove one side paper and smooth it down. Remove the last two papers in a way that works for you. It helps to fold tabs you can grab.Note that the sensor doesn't have to be kept dry except to keep it attached. Also, it doesn't need access to air. The hole in the top of the sensor is used during application for the needle that guides the thin sensor wire through skin. The holes around the side allow water to drain out, but with this waterproof patch, they aren't needed.

My G7 would sometimes stop working well before the 10 days of usage. I used all the applicators as required, but the device would still fail from time to time. I tried these patches to protect in the shower, they have worked quite well! Since I started using these 2 months ago, I haven't hade any device failures. The patch itself is waterproof, comes in a variety of colors, and remains sticky the entire 10 days. Overall it works well. The application of the patch is tricky, mainly due to where the Dexcom is applied. There are 4 pieces the remove to expose the adhesive side. Sometimes I need a second person to apply this successfully. Also, when it is time to remove the patch to change the dexcom, it can be somewhat painful to remove because it has such good adhesion. When it is on, I barely know that it is there. Overall, I would recommend.

I like how well this has stayed on, I’m at 6 days in and it’s only just started to fray a little at the very edges. I will say to be very careful applying! My first one I kinda touched the adhesive by accident and it didn’t stick. The second one has done well so far! I’ve not taken it off yet so I’m not sure how easily that will take place though.

I got these bc the first time I installed this on my wife's arm after finding out she was diabetic and coming home from pharmacy the covering that comes with the unit stuck together and was useless. Highly recommend.

I use these to cover my Dexcom G7 wear them in the bathtub. I wear them in the shower. I swim with them. I’m not irritated to the glue on them, but everything else will irritate me. I am allergic to latex and skin rashes from Band-Aids no allergy to glue on this device covering they stay in place, and I do a lot of wear and tear on mine and I have no problems with them. I will purchase. Again

I like them because I'm afraid my G7 sensor might fall off or something might get in. It's summer and it's hot so I sweat and I hope these will stay on and of course they are fashionable.

I purchased this brand of patches for my Dexcom G7 sensor after having used another brand which costs more than double for about 7 months. What attracted me of this brand: the fabric like material instead of paper type stickers that come with the Dexcom sensor which gives my skin a bad reaction, and the array of colors which my other expensive brand did not offer for a while. After using two patches I have noticed that the adhesive feature is not good: while being careful during showers not to keep the patch in direct line of the water flow and carefully drying it afterwards, the patch looses it adhesive quality after about 5 days then it starts peeling on one end first, then all around. I resorted to add another patch on top of it, a bit off center to cover the part that came un-glued and so it lasted till the expiration of my sensor, at which time, trying to remove the patches was very painful as not only the the remaining glue but also a thin layer of my skin was peeled off. Not the experience I was looking for. And that's why I am returning to buy more of the SkinGrips patches in spite of their expensive price because they have strong glue all the while being very easy to remove without any pain.

I have used these patches with both the dexcom g7 as well as the freestyle libre 3. The center doesn't have adhesive on it, so I would think it could be used with multiple products. However, the patch is very wide. I end up cutting almost 2/3rd of it off around the edge. That leaves about 1/3" of adhesive around the CGM. The adhesive holds on very well, doesn't peel up on the edges, is breathable, and dries quickly after the shower. I have been using baby oil to help remove it because I have very sensitive skin to adhesives. I rotate the site to help with the sensitivity and give my skin time to heal.

Very good product. It’s gentle on the skin and there is no residual itchyness. I am very happy to have bought it. It’s also waterproof in the shower and if you are excercising in the gym it stays on! It’s very comfortable to wear on the skin.

I love this product . Have bought different ones before and was disappointed. These don't they keep the g7 in place no accidentally knocking it off. They do not peel on the sides and fun colours . Used a pink one to match dress for wedding. I find without these my g7 can get very dirty looking from daily life and clothes. Have worn in shower and hot tub with no issues . Will buy again I highly reccomend. No sensor issues since purchase.

Sind perfekt und halten sehr gut.Jetzt halten die Sensoren fix 10 Tage und auch schwimmen geht jetzt problemlos ohne das sich der Sensor löst.
