SIMPATCH for Guardian

Stays stuck even after getting wet multiple times.

I use the Medtronic Gaurdian 3 sensor and always hated the clear adhesive patches that they provide with the product. After wearing the Medtronic patches for a week, peeling them off would not only hurt, but would irritate my skin leaving it red, rashy and stinging. I HATED the tape and thought it was something that I would just have to suck up and deal with. It would make me self conscious when taking off my shirt in front of people, too. Red, rashy and stinging skin is a small price to pay for having my blood sugar under control, right? I also hated that the Medtronic tape would leave a residue on my skin and sensor that I was only removable with rubbing alcohol and lots of elbow grease. I came across Simpatch and put off buying it for months thinking it was the same type of product Medtronic provided that would leave my skin in a less than desirable condition after use. BOY WAS I WRONG. I finally ordered Simpatch and was beyond surprised that my skepticism about the product was absolutely incorrect. I’ve worn Simpatch a couple of times throughout the last few weeks and I’m ecstatic to say that my skin does not get irritated from the adhesive nor does it leave a nasty residue that is only removable with rubbing alcohol. It’s a bit tricky to get on since the backing doesn’t necessarily come off easily at the perforations. Once I got the application technique down I have zero issues with it. If there is any residue left behind by the Simpatch, it easily rubs off using my fingers. I know there’s a product to apply pre-adhering the patch to help with this, but I’ve not found it personally necessary to use as this product is fabulous on its own. I would HIGHLY recommend Simpatch to anyone struggling with the same issue I’ve outlined in this review. Thank you Simpatch!

My husband wears a Guardian 4 sensor for his diabetes. This patch has been overall the best & better costing patch he's found on prime. He's tried 2 other kind & as soon as he tried this one, he hasn't changed it. He's even subscribed to it so it automatically sends. When he showers it gets wet but gets dry fairly quickly. He's worn another patch before that would get really soaked & but dry as fast. It does not fall off or peel off. He works out at the gym, sleeps in it, showers with it, wears clothing over it & he's never had any issues. He's a Deputy Sheriff & has been in my situations with it. This patch lasts!

I’ve tried so many adhesives for my Guardian Sensor 4 but they have never stayed on. I am in the pool just about every day and the would always start to fray or peel back at the edges. These don’t! They stay on well. They are easy to apply and I love the color ones. I will definitely be ordering these again!

Me encantan pero en varias ocasiones se me han despegado.

These are excellent patches to use with a Guardian 4 or similar CGM. They are a nice breathable cloth. The hole in the patch is the right size for this type of CGM unit. It securely covers the unit, but it leaves enough room for my finger to hold the unit down while peeling up the patch. They are of a generous size, covering the unit completely with .5-1.25" on each side beyond. I will sometimes even trim one side down slightly before (or sometimes after) applying, because the hole is not right in the middle so one side has more sticky space than the others. I usually just leave it as-is, but I will trim it if I put my unit too far down the back of the arm so it gets on the more sensitive soft skin that goes kind of underneath the arm there. I admit, it irritates that soft skin there a bit, but my skin is rather sensitive. It gives me no problems further up on the arm. I can apply this one handed with little issue. Practice a few times and it will get easier to make it nice and flat with one hand. The back peel off cover is split into 3 pieces that should be pulled apart before applying. Go with the middle first, then do each edge. They stick very well once they are on. I wear them for a week at a time, and I'm certain they would last longer. I usually have to use some baby oil to get them started peeling, but once you get one area to let go it's not too difficult pulling the rest off. I recommend going slowly. These are the best patches I have found so far for the G4. Will buy again.

Lately the adhesive on the back of my guardian has been bothering my skin as well as the patches medtronic sends with them. The patches have been so bad for a while that it requires nore than the 2 they recommend. I was up to 9 by day 2 of site change. I ordered these and love them, no itching, no peeling, nothing, in fact I forgot it was there. I've got the Guardian 3 and it's a great fit! I've used others in the past and they peeled rather quickly. Will continue to go with these. Thanks for creating a product that reduces my worries and allows me to take care of my supplies with no effort

Truly keeps my G4 in place. Really great!

These work great to keep my guardian senses in place- even if they get wet.

The original patches cover and protect the entire sensor and transmitter. The new ones have an oval cut out (don't know why) in the middle of the patch. Found that my clothing can rub and peel the edges of the cutout. Original design is better.
