Skin-Tac™ Adhesive Barrier Wipes 50 Count

Product Information

No probs, A, these things are a brave new world, which have improved my life massively over the last couple of years, so am happy to share. But of the two I used, the first fell off after 2 days so the second I attached with micropore tape. Lily just got home from school and the tape was all tangled around her tube so have stuck some more on. That work continues, she adds, but it can take as long as 2 years to even determine which adhesive component might be an issue to press the manufacturer on. Facebook groups and other social media channels are full of PWDs complaining about rashes or red marks caused by wearing a CGM or insulin pump infusion set.

Skin Tac is a liquid adhesive that is used to increase the adhesion of medical devices, such as insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitor sensors.At one point, the CGM company even had a specific technical support page where PWDs could report adhesive issues. I sweat quite a lot and I suspect this could contribute to it but there’s not much I can do about that.

Am on my 54th at the moment and have only had 1 fall off, and that was because of bumping a door-jamb. Skin Tac can be a valuable tool for Dexcom users by increasing the sensor's adhesion to prevent it from coming loose or falling off before the sensor expires.

Dexcom has a page discussing adhesive issues with best practices and tips for those with sensitive skin. Previously on the Libre 1 the sensors adhesive was stronger, you had a job in removing them, now it would seem that the adhesive has been made weaker. is important to apply a thin layer of the liquid adhesive to the skin because if there is too much, the sensor may not stick properly. They are usually a different colour to the rest of your skin and can be pink, light brown, brown or darker brown depending on the colour of your skin tone.
