The Sugar Patch SMALL Solid Overlays can be used over low profile sensors such as Dexcom G7 & Stelo, Libre 3, Medtronic Instinct & Simplera. Our variety of overlays are designed with your fashion and lifestyle in mind.
- The Sugar Patch Solid overlay patches fit securely over your sensor, and onto your skin.
- We use specially formulated medical grade hypoallergenic tape in making all of our overlays and barrier patches. See our CLINICAL DATA SUMMARY for more information on the results of the sensitivity tests performed on our tape.
- Our tape is designed to last for up to 15 days of wear, depending on your activity level, humidity and temperature levels.
The Sugar Patch overlays will last longer when the following application process is followed.
Before applying your sensor, use an alcohol swab or non-oily soap and water to clean the skin where your sensor will be located. Be sure that the skin under and around the application site is dry, and avoid using lotions, oils or powders near the sensor or patches.
Apply your sensor following the instructions provided by your doctor, or diabetes trainer. To apply the overlay, use the pad of your finger to gently lift the edge of the patch away from the backing. Center the patch over the sensor and onto the skin. Adjustments to the patch can be made before the overlay has been pressed down to the skin. Using a blow dryer on low heat after applying the overlay will help to seal the adhesive to the skin.
Avoid getting the patch wet for 4 hours after applying it. After bathing or swimming, be sure to thoroughly dry the patch and sensor site using a clean towel or blow dryer on low heat. Should the edges of the patch ever begin to lift, using a blow dryer on low heat will reactivate the adhesive, and you should be able to press the edges back down to the skin.
HAVE FUN AND LIVE LIFE WITHOUT THE WORRIES OF LOSING YOUR SENSORS!
