One of the worst patches I've ever used

I was really hoping these patches would be good. In order to use a sensor for a fortnight, you often need to apply more than one patch to the sensor (and the original patch) to strengthen the bond. These patches were a good size so I bought a few packs. In general the reviews were good and the price is reasonable. Here are the problems: 1) The patch barely stuck to the paper you removed it from. This is an indication that it will not last long on the body. 2) Almost immediately, the edges of the patch peel off. This is where I usually add a patch patch. 3) These patches are easily saturated with water, which can allow fluid to pool under the patch - into the dressing underneath and into the sensor. This can lead to infection and sensor failure. I strongly recommend everyone to avoid this product. There are better ways.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some problems
