SMALL GENERIC UNDERLAY / BARRIER PATCHES - SOLID PATCH WITH NO HOLES CUT - 2 INCH CIRCULAR

GENERIC UNDERLAY / BARRIER PATCHES - SOLID PATCH WITH NO HOLES CUT - 2 INCHES DIAMETER  ***THIS SIZE WILL WORK WITH INFUSION SETS, DEXCOM G7 OR LIBRE 3 ONLY**

Many of our friends have experienced severe adhesive reactions from their INFUSION SETS & SENSORS, so we have made some simple unprinted barrier tapes, with the same hypoallergenic tape used in our patches, that will keep the sensor tape from touching the skin and causing reactions, itching, and/or adhesive chemical burns.

The Generic Circular Shaped Adhesive Barrier patches go under the infusion set or sensor, protecting you from the adhesives used in the diabetes technology that you use.  The barriers are large enough to protect your skin under your infusion set and Dexcom G7 or Libre 3 sensors, yet small enough to be completely covered by our designer patches/overlays.  We recommend that you also use one of our over patches to additionally secure your sensor.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:

The barrier patches are designed to be applied to the skin underneath the sensor to protect sensitive skin from the adhesive of the sensor. Clean and allow the skin to dry in the area where you will be applying the infusion set.  Remove the paper backing from the sensor or infusion set and apply the cloth side of the barrier patch to the sensor or infusion set adhesive. With the paper backing still on the patch, press firmly to assure that the adhesive on your sensor or infusion set is secured to the barrier patch.  Gently peel the backing away from the barrier patch, then apply the sensor or infusion set as you normally would to the skin (except that the barrier patch will be your adhesive).  Use one of our overlay patches over your sensor or infusion set and barrier patch to keep it secured to the skin.  Be sure to pat dry the patches, or use a hair dryer on a low setting to dry the patches, after bathing or showering.
