Freestyle Libre Tractor Patches

Ensure proper skin preparation before inserting your device. Wash your hands and the application site with soap and water, making sure the skin is dry and free from creams or lotions. Avoid inserting a sensor or cannula immediately after bathing, and apply adhesives in a dry environment. To further prevent irritation, consider using a barrier film or tape on the skin, leaving a hole in the middle for the cannula or filament. Alternatively, try a liquid barrier that can be wiped or sprayed on, forming a protective layer. Let it dry completely before device insertion. Additional tips include using an over-the-counter steroid nasal spray to prevent irritation, applying a non-deodorant antiperspirant for sweating issues, and using a hydrocolloid bandage for severe skin reactions.

For optimal adhesion, start with clean, dry skin—use soap and water or alcohol wipes, and ensure no sunscreen or moisturizer is present. Less hair in the area is better. To apply, peel off half the backing, position the tape against the sensor, and press it onto the skin. Avoid touching the adhesive to maintain its stickiness—only touch it when ready to apply. After positioning, peel off the rest of the backing, smooth down the tape, and rub the edges to warm it. For best results, apply the patch slowly to avoid bubbles, rub the edges to activate the heat-activated adhesive, and avoid getting the tape wet after application.
