LIBRE 2 OR INFUSION SET - UNDERLAY/BARRIER PATCHES - **NEWLY INCREASED SIZE TO 2 INCHES DIAMETER**
Many of our friends have experienced severe adhesive reactions from their LIBRE 2 OR INFUSION SETS, 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 LIBRE 2 / INFUSION SET Circular Shaped Adhesive Barrier patches go under the sensor / infusion set, protecting you from the adhesives used in the diabetes technology that you use. The barriers are large enough to protect your skin under your sensor / infusion set, 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 infusion set and apply the cloth side of the barrier patch to the sensor's adhesive so that the insertion needle goes through the hole in the patch. The centered hole in the patch will work perfectly with most infusion sets. With the paper backing still on the patch, press firmly to assure that the infusion set adhesive is secured to the barrier patch. Gently peel the backing away from the barrier patch, then apply the the 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 the 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.
