Description:

You have never experienced a Dexcom G6 patch like this! I have worked over a year to bring this patch to market and I am so excited to share it with you.

What makes the premium patch different?

Opaque: The Premium Patch is made from a thick highly breathable fabric. Unlike other major brands, once the patch is applied, you can not see through it at all. Because this patch is opaque, the images on the patch remain bright and crisp.

No Lifting: This patch was made with a strong durable adhesive to prevent lifting. WARNING: Do not rip this patch off when removing. Because of the strength of the adhesive, the patch must be peeled off slowly to prevent skin irritation.

Flexible: The Premium Patch has 8-way stretch and high elasticity allowing it to move with the skin.

Woven Interlocking Fabric: The Premium Patches use an interlocking woven fabric that never frays. Other patches use either a non-woven fabric or a woven fabric that unravels. Non-woven fabric traps sweat under the patch which can cause skin irritation or premature lifting of the patch. Traditional woven patches provided more comfort, but quickly unravel. The premium patch uses the highly breathable woven fabric that wont fray or trap moisture.

Works in Harsh Climates: This patch was designed to preform well in harsh climates. From high humidity to below freezing, this patch will stick.

Hypoallergenic: Medical-grade hypoallergenic adhesive. This 100% acrylic adhesive is free from all major allergens, including latex.

4-Section Backing: The back of the patch is split into 4 sections. Easily apply the patch by removing 1 section at a time.

Made by a T1D: All patches are made by me, a Type 1 Diabetic, with the “help” of my 1 year old daughter.

Dexcom Stickers

High-Quality: Dexcom stickers are made from a high-quality thin vinyl that will not block your transmitter signal.

Waterproof: 100% waterproof. Perfect for swimming or wet climates.

No Peeling: Transmitter stickers are cut to be slightly smaller than the transmitter so there is a lower likelihood of the edges peeling.

Easy Removal: Dexcom G6 Stickers can be gently removed without leaving any sticky residue. This allows for frequent changing of the decal.

All items in my shop are made by me, with the “help” of my toddler. I am a Type 1 Diabetic and come from a long line of Type 1’s. It has always been my dream to give back to the diabetic community in a meaningful way. This shop is very important to me and if you have ANY issues please reach out, I am very responsive and always willing to help.

If you have a special request, for example, you need an item quickly for an event, please message me directly. I don’t always see the messages in the product notes.

ADHESIVE PATCHES INSTRUCTION GUIDE

DIRECTIONS

1. CLEAN SKIN: Clean skin with soap and water. Using soap containing lotion (moisturizing soap) will affect adhesion. Small amounts of body hair will not affect adhesion. Areas with large amounts of body hair should be clipped close to the skin or shaved for best results.

2. PLACE PATCH: Remove 1 section of the patch and place on skin. Carefully remove the remaining sections 1 at a time until patch is on. Don’t touch the adhesive when applying. Do not lift the patch away from the skin once applied.

3. ACTIVATE ADHESIVE: The patch is heat activated. Rubbing the patch will activate its bonding agent, which allows it to bond with the skin. After applying the patch, rub it from the center outwards. Do not rub from the ends toward the center, or you may cause the ends to peel away from the skin. The adhesive needs 1 hour to bond to the skin. Apply the patch at least one hour before exercising, swimming or bathing.

4. REMOVE PATCH: To remove patch, peel off SLOWLY in the direction of hair growth, which is usually away from the center of the body on the trunk, and in the downward direction on the arms or legs. A patch that is strongly adhered can be loosened by soaking in a removal aiding solution. You can use skin tack remover or mix a 1:1 rubbing alcohol/vegetable oil or baby oil solution. Apply solution to patch and wait 5 minutes before attempting removal. You can continue to soak the patch until it can be comfortably removed. Most rashes occur from removing patch without a removal aid.

5. REUSING: Some customers choose to reuse the patch. It was made to be disposable, but if you would like to reuse, here are instructions to do so. To reuse the patch, hand wash with dish soap and lay flat to dry. Once patch is completely dry, apply a heavy layer of skin tack adhesive to the skin and let it dry, 1-2 minutes. Place patch over adhesive tack. Apply another layer of tack on top of the patch. Make sure the tack completely saturates the patch. Allow it to fully dry before placing clothes over it to prevent the patch from adhering to clothes, this can take 5-10 minutes. Best results are achieved by using liquid skin adhesive as opposed to skin tack adhesive pads.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

PATCH WON’T STICK: Don’t touch the adhesive when applying. Make sure patch is applied to clean skin with no lotion. Using soap containing lotion (moisturizing soap) will affect adhesion. Make sure patch gets warm enough (body temperature) to activate the adhesive. Adhesive takes ~1 hour to bond to skin. Once bonded it is rated to last 25 days.

PAINFUL REMOVAL: Use skin tack remover or mix a 1:1 rubbing alcohol/vegetable oil or baby oil solution. Apply solution to patch and wait 5 minutes before attempting removal. You can continue to soak the patch until it can be comfortably removed. Most rashes occur from removing patch without a removal aid.

SKIN UNDER PATCH IS ITCHING: Rinse patch with water. Most irritation occurs from sweat irritating the skin under the patch. If irritation does not subside after 30 minutes, remove the patch with a removal aid and clean area with rubbing alcohol. The adhesive is formulated for extended wear on skin and is free from all major allergens. Allergies to this adhesive are very rare. If a rash occurs it is most likely from removing the patch without an adequate removal aid, such as skin tack remover, rubbing alcohol, baby oil, etc.
