The special advantages of our Sensorpatches
We have put a lot of thought into making sure you can live confidently with your sensor in all situations.
1. Your sensor lasts longer
Our patch extends the wearing time of your sensor and protects it, no matter what you are up to in your life. The patch lasts 7-14 days on the skin.
Your application guide
For optimal durability and comfort, it is best to apply your patch according to our recommendations. The application takes only about 3 minutes if you follow these steps:
Apply the patch at least 1-2 hours before starting an activity or water contact.
Thoroughly remove dirt, moisture, oils or lotions from the skin before taping.
In areas that are particularly hairy, trim the hair to ensure the tape sticks better.
When applying the patch, do not touch the adhesive surface if possible, as it will affect the adhesion.
If any part of the patch comes off the skin, it can be carefully removed with scissors.
Do not apply the patch to injured or irritated skin and do not tear it off the skin jerkily.
Step-by-step guide
Press the oval part of the backing paper slightly upwards so that it detaches from the patch.
Now grab the paper and pull it completely off the patch. Put the patch down briefly.
Take one of the tape chips and pull it apart a bit so you can grab the paper.
Peel off one half of the paper. The patch has an oval area where the chip can be placed.
Now apply the first half of the tape chip, glue on glue, to the space provided.
Pull the paper off the chip. Carefully attach the rest of the paper without wrinkles. Press it firmly.
The center is now no longer sticky! Pull off one of the four remaining outer pieces of paper.
Place the patch centrally over your sensor and press it gently into place.
Attach the patch to the skin. For this, apply it from the inside to the outside of the skin. 1/4 is now stuck!
Carefully peel off the paper of the opposite patch quarter.
Again, apply the patch from the inside out and tape the next quarter of the patch to the skin.
Repeat this step 2 more times and you are done. Rub the patch all over again.
Removing/ changing your patch
Gently peel the patch from the skin at one point. Then pull off the patch slowly, at a flat angle and in the direction of hair growth (usually away from the center of the body). Please never tear it off jerkily to protect the skin.
