Hello,

 

Thank you for your recent call to Dexcom Technical Support. When having trouble getting our patches to adhere you can try the following:

1. IV 3000

2. Tegaderm (it's a patch so you need to make a hole for the transmitter)

3. Blenderm

4. Any 3M brand medical tapes

 

Optional Site Preparation

Use skin adhesives (Mastisol?, SkinTac?) as part of your insertion site preparation to help keep your sensor pod attached. Apply the skin adhesive after you've selected and cleaned your insertion site. Use circular motions and create an "O" outline, making sure you don't get any skin adhesive inside the outline. Let the "O" dry based on skin adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Once dry, your skin may feel slightly sticky. For visual assistance please visit our website  <http://dexcom.custhelp.com/rd?1=AvMG~wr9Dv8S~xb~Gv8e~yKsDusqaa75~6Yixz7~Pv~r&2=1&6=2&7=660555> www.dexcom.com/guides for the online guide.

 

NOTE: Contact your healthcare professional for specific questions regarding the use of medical tape, barrier wipes and/or other adhesives as it relates to your use of Dexcom CGM.

 

If you still require assistance, feel free to contact us at 844-607-8398 and follow the prompts.  Please do not respond to this email. 

 

Thank you again for contacting Dexcom Technical Support.
