Skin Grip CGM Sensor Patches Compatible with Medtronic Guardian, 20 Pack

I am happy to have found these patches. So far, they help me stay aware of protecting my sensor so it doesnt pop off my arm during the 14 day use. So far, even after a few bumps on the sensor it has stayed in place. After reading reviews with concerns about patch sticking to the freestyle sensor i have a few suggestions for less stressful usage and possibly increasing the life of each patch.. 1. Exposure to water seems to cut down the life of the patch. I have had success keeping the patch on for the 14 day life of my freestyle sensor. I do protect my patch in the shower by applying a larger sheet of GLAD PRESS 'N SEAL over the patch to tent it from the water. Its not perfect but it has helped cut down exposure to water. It may take some experimentation to find what works best for you. 2. To prepare for smoothly applying the patch, lay patch on a flat surface, then fold out three of the four paper patch covers so the tips extend beyond the edge of the patch. The revealed space on the patch is just larger than your sensor. Pull off the 4th paper flap and cut it down into a circle the SAME size as your freestyle sensor. Do this to keep the patch from adhering to your sensor. (If your circle is larger than the sensor, the edges of the paper disk may be uncomfortable on your skin.) Center the glossy, paper circle you just cut out on the revealed area of the patch. Now when the patch is applied over your sensor the patch will cover and hold your sensor in place... but the patch will not stick to your sensor -- just to the circle and your skin.) Apply the patch: Center the patch's paper circle over the sensor on your arm and press on your arm. Then slowly pull on each of the three 'tips' for a smooth patch application. (After applying the patch I cut the other three paper flaps into circles for future use.) So far i'm pleased. I've used the patches for a couple of months now.

These work awesome with SkinTac and stay on my husband for the duration we need. We wish they came in fun patterns. Great product! My husband is a Type 1 diabetic and with the medication and his sweat some bandages slide right off, even after using SkinTac.

These patches stay in place once applied. If you clean the area with alcohol, let it dry, then follow the application instructions, you shouldn’t have a problem. They do fray around the edges after a few days, but they don’t lift. You can quickly and easily trim the frayed edges if they bother you. These patches stand up to sweat and water well. They last the life of your device without issue. The Chocolate color pictured is very accurate also. Just note that it’s very hard to remove the patch without the device coming also because they stick VERY well. This is the best fabric type patch that I’ve purchased for my device. The pictures are after a week of the patch being applied.

These are great to cover my cgm sensor to my Medtronic insulin pump. It holds better than any other tape I’ve ran across and is easy to put on. My only complaint is I’ve read reviews where it’s hard to pull the tape off and I absolutely do not have that experience. In heat, with sweat, it comes right off. I’ve had to replace the patch several times after swimming during summer. But again, it’s the best I’ve found so far. Also, the pink seems to hold up better than the blue color.

These work great for my brothers CGM sensor. They keep it really well covered and come off easily with no irritation. They fit perfectly, are comfortable and easy to use!

Been using these for years! Work great!

Great product. Holds my glucose monitor for 15 days, with never a single problem. Still hurts like hell when I have to take it off. That's a good thing

Let me start by saying these things are pretty awesome. My sensor no longer gets snagged while I’m wearing a hoodie or a long sleeve shirt. I love that they’re latex free. I’m allergic to latex and have pretty sensitive skin in general and these don’t make me itch or anything. I can’t feel it in that way at all. I gave it three stars because I’ve only been wearing it for three days and the material has already started to fray around the edges, like a fabric bandaid does. It hasn’t lifted up yet, the adhesion is great. There are just some threads coming loose. Like others have said, I definitely thought there would have been a non-stick portion that goes over the sensor so that if you have remove the grip before your sensor is up, it wouldn’t take your sensor out along with it. The other thing I dislike about it is that it does retain moisture. I understand that it is only a water repellent, but the grip stays wet for hours after a shower. While the majority of the day, I don’t feel it at all, after a shower it’s almost like wearing a wet sock and we all know how terrible that feels. I have an annoying, cold wet spot on my arm for at least 3 hours after I shower (I shower everyday) and that’s with me not letting the water hit it directly. I’m not sure how that will effect my sensor in the long run. So far, the pros outweigh the cons, so I’ll probably continue to use them, but I would like to see the price come down or the quality to go up.

I have been using the Skin Grip brand for about 2 years now. They rebounded about a year ago (I think) and it was by far the best offering on the market. I was finding that I could keep a single cover on for the while two weeks, even going into the pool fairly regularly. BUT....they have changed something. Whatever the adhesive/glue was that worked so well, and it has been replaced by some kind of chemical weapon that's probably been banned by the Geneva Convention. Not only did the first patch I tried on from the new pack fail to stick (and it turned out it was almost completely dry!) the second patch then caused what you can see in the pictures. I can't say that the original skin tone patches have been affected in the same way, but I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about these patches... STAY AWAY!!

Skingrip patch is the best I’ve tried; No irritation, no glue residue, and removal is effortless without pulling hair or skin. It stayed perfectly secure through multiple showers across the full sensor lifespan. It only comes off when I intentionally peel it away, which says everything about its reliability.

Muy bueno

Used this product to stick over my Libre Lifestyle Senor and went for a swim. My sensor still works.

These are expensive but have phenomenal hold. They will gradually succumb to falling apart from the shower (7-10 days) but they are the best bandages I have ever used. Well worth the price!
