Smith & Nephew 5466000040 Opsite Flexifix 2 Inch x 11 Yards Transparent Film Dressing

This works amazingly; it stays put even on hot, sticky days when I'm out and about, after showering, and even after an occasional dip in a friend's pool. I had been using large, waterproof patch bandages, but they would fall off and the patch I was wearing had to be thrown out. This not only sticks very well, but I also don't have any skin irritation. I highly recommend it.

I have tried many other types of medical tape in the past 10 or so years I been using my pump and cgm. Some would not stick at all. Some would fall off before 24 hours passed. Some lasted a couple days. Some gave me nasty rashes. I found this flexifix tape and fell in love. I am back for more. My last roll I ordered in April or May and finally needing to reorder. I use a little bit with every site change for my insulin pump and every cgm change. It stays on the entire life of the infusion set or sensor (3 days, a week) and I have to pull it off its still stuck there. In the summer months or when I will be in a lot of water I put mastisol under it and it works great. The top clear grid layer (that pulls off after you stick it on) is great so you can cut in a straight line to the size you need. For around my infusion set I use 4 pieces that are 2 grids wide (the full 2 inch length) and place it around all 4 sides of my infusion set. For my glucose sensor I cut three 2 grid wide pieces and place around the top of the sensor to anchor it in as the sensor doesn't have a lot of tape there. Then I place a small piece about 3-4 grids markings back under where my transmitter will lay to prevent the transmitter from irritating my skin. Then I cut 2 longer pieces and place one over the top of the sensor and one over the back side of the transmitter. I do not fully cover it as I noticed in the past when I did I would sweat under it and it had no where to go and would make the tape fall off...I wonder if thats some of the problem others complained about. I swim, shower, use hot tubs, etc with this tape and never have an issue. I have very sensitive skin and reacted to other products by this company and I do not react at all to this tape. Please Smiths and Nephew do not discontinue this tape.

Keeps a patch in place. Stays in place for baths or swimming. Thin and not noticeable on skin.

This is excellent tape for wound care. I use it for cosplay & as a very happy drag artist. As a bonus, it's easy to use, colorless, and can be used for any skin color. I plan to order more of this.

I purchased this product to use to help secure my daughters CGM, they have worked well but not perfectly. I do like the product, it does work for what we are using it for, we have run into a couple small issues. First is that we must modify them by cutting out an area so that is fits around the CGM senser, this can make it difficult to remove the backing easily. The second has been being that it is summer she swims a lot and we fins that after a couple days the corners start to curl up. Given that the sensor is designed to stay on for about 7 days and we are using this to help keep it on this can create problems if it fails. So far we have only come close once but was able to save it. If you are using this product for a Dexcom CGM application I recommend the purchase with the caveat that you will need to work carfully with it.

"Keep exercising normally" and "wear this sticky thing for two weeks" are incompatible statements. This stuff works way better than whatever slime tape they ship with the Bardy monitors. Of course, prep is key. Clean your skin thoroughly with some prep pads and let your skin dry completely before applying. There is no getting around it being itchy and uncomfortable, but at least it's doing what it's supposed to be doing.

Transparent, easy to apply, waterproof, excellent adhesion, very durable, and does not irritate your skin. I've tried waterproof "bandaids", but they don't stay on more than a day before they start coming loose. I also tried the Nexcare waterproof foam tape, but that also started coming off in less than a day and it irritated my skin something awful. So glad I found this Opsite dressing. Now I just make my own bandaid by using a piece of gauze over the wound, or cut the middle part of a traditional bandaid and put it over the wound, and use the Opsite as the top dressing and I have a bandage that lasts for days on end. Love it! Update- The more I've been using this I realize this is most likely causing an allergic reaction in the form of an itchy rash. I've recently used it on one of my fingers and also on my stomach area, both times I've experienced intense itching after about 1/2 a day and when I removed the Opsite bandage all the skin it was covering was red, itchy, and sore. Took a couple of days for the rash to clear. I doubt I'll be using this again.

I use these gifts from God under my omnipod 5 site after experiencing some severe allergic reactions pods after October of this past year. They are so much easier than applying flonase and waiting for it to drop dry. Such a wonderful trick for y'all with sensitive skin!
