SIMPATCH Adhesive Patch for Omnipod with Strap - Pack of 25 (Tan)

Good quality

I use Sim Patch with both with my Omni Pod’s and my Dexcom G6 CGM. The style of this particular over tape is unique and very beneficial in that there is an additional strap that sticks around the device that you’re wearing. Wearing old fashion Omni Pod over tapes without the center strip is not nearly as conducive to secure a device for long term wear. In the past I have accidentally ripped a few Omni Pods right off my body. I can be a little rough sometimes I forget that I even have a insulin pump device type on my body. IE:Toweling off after a shower pulling my shirt off or pants down wherever I have it placed the device. It may get caught by something that just pull it off my skin. These can be very expensive mistakes when you consider the cost of an Omni pod or a Dexcom G6. After I started using the Sim Patch tape, I’ve had no problems and Have not ripped anything off my body by accident. I feel more confident when taking a shower or going swimming or any physical activity that I may do because I know the pod or CGM is securely on there. The Dexcom G6 needs to stay on for 10 days and I live in a very hot climate which is not conducive to any adhesive staying on for very long. So, for maximum hold, I use Skin Tac as a prep for the Sim Patch. If placed right where it needs to be, the Sim Patch isn’t coming off until you want to take it off. Considering its purpose of holding high dollar medical electronics to your body, the price is extremely reasonable. And I must change my Omnipod out every two days. Which by that, I mean that I go through more Sim Patchs than most people. Putting it on your body May be a little tricky especially depending on where you put the device. My spouse helps me place the Sim Patch as it needs to be. I highly recommend this product for anyone who need a secure over tape for the Omnipod or the Dexcom G6.

This works well for extended time in water swimming, etc. I applied Skin Prep, Pod, then SIMPATCH. Pod was applied to back of upper arm so I also covered patch with a Lycra like armband by DIABAND. Very pleased.

Très bon service

Wife likes these best, I have used others and actually like the others better, but only because the paper backing is difficult to get off these. Wife has to put them on me, so I use these. Only thing I don't like is that the paper backing is difficult to get the middle pieces off to get it ready. It also has to be stretched instead of just placed over the pod. It does hold very well and has saved me knocking off a lot of pods, holds them on when sleeping. I use skin tac with it and probably shouldn't since it sticks so well that I think I lose some skin when I remove it. A really good product for what its made for.
