Where do Skin-Tac sell?Any substitute that can find in my pharmacy?
09/16/2014 12:42 p.m.
I have recommended the skin-tac instead of Tegaderm to fix the free freestyle sensor.But today in the pharmacy he did not even appear on his computer, so I understand that it is not sold in Spain.
But that product sounds to me that you use some of the "firefighters."That's why I ask you in this thread:
Where can I buy it quickly?(I have a trip to Madrid on Saturday for a patient forum and I want to take the sensor on).
Is there any other similar product that is sold in Spain?

Well, I use transpirable transparent fixomull and the truth is that it is going very well with the Dexcom, come on, that the minimum is detached in two weeks, moreover, what hurts when I take it that I take my hairs.

I do not know the product of anything and either use bomb or anything similar.I am not helping you.
The only thing that occurs to me is that if someone uses it and lives nearby, you could see personally to leave you a bit of the skin-tac.If so, I could send it to you by urgent messaging or whatever it was faster.
I have been looking for the Internet and the only thing I have found is the post that Fer tells you.

Óscar, those are the adhesive wipes distributed by Novalab, the same as the Dexcom.They are the ones that my son produced a bestial allergy with suppuration and everything. They are soaked wipes that you pass them through the area (such as the refreshing wipes in envelope) and then, once dry, you apply anything. The only resemblance that I have found in pharmacies are the colloplast prep towels, but they do not hit the same. Fixomull is something else.It is dressing that you put about something.I think it is better for the free sensor.But everything is trying.

I have one of those wipes without using them to send me from Novalab.And seen my experience with Mastisol, that if it hits (it is American, here it is impossible to find, and I still have a little girl and some ampoules), I no longer pour any "potingue" in the body.I think that to a greater or lesser extent, they are prone to reactions (and I already tell you, the mastisol hits what you do, it is used in the United States to maintain bandages, but as you are reaction, they swell you to the eyelids!And it's not a joke, I thought it gave me something ...).
I also use the Fixomull Transparent for several years, it is great, and in addition, when buying 10 -meter rolls, it spreads a lot and economically it goes on account (the tailored dressings, cut, is a burden what they cost).
I already use Fixomull as an economic alternative to Tegaderm.But they apply worse.In any case, an American ABBOTT engineer who read my free freeyle review has sent me an email telling me that the best is Skin-Tac.And I wanted to try it, since I am a "guinea pig" for the rest of the people.But they have already warned me that it can make you reaction.
Lately I see you everywhere hahahaha.After reading your review I looked online and almost everything is Yankee.I spend a link that at least has images, although the purchase websites I think they are all American...

Thanks Kraken.Tica, I don't have time.I want to have the sensor put as soon as I am an official tester :-) I just asked Novañab as you indicated to me. I get the expenses for a box a little expensive, but it is what there is.
If I am allergy and I get hair on my back or I have extrapiramidal reactions and full moon face syndrome:-I will give the box to someone.But I have to try it to see if the free freestyle sensor really looks so well.

Yes. I use it to help the sensor maintenance and last more time.But by itself, the skin-tac does not keep the sensor stuck for a long time.Maybe you can endure two weeks for free, but with the dexcom that you can - if you touch the lottery - stretch it until 4 weeks or even more, you need additional help and the patches are essential.Adhesive films such as Fixomull or Tegaderm are good solutions.The Tegaderm seems breathable and the Fixomull does not, but both hold the sensor well.
I use Fixomull and change it when it starts to degrade. Some dexcom has last 6 weeks when doing so. I will try to put on this noble, so that it does not get wet and last a little more if you can ...

Fer ... This is my system with the Fixomull.I have been using it for about 7 years and Chapó¡¡¡¡¡ The theme is the "installation", if you put it "to hair" it is a disaster, with the sweat below the adhesive is taken off-rough (the dexcom), to avoid it, you cut yourself with the exterior shape of the adhesive a small foamyand consistent (the typical that bring electronic components), with the hole in the middle.You put a transparent piece in the center of Fixomul (2cmx4cm more or less, that covers the size of the transmitter simply to prevent it from sticking, this is not necessary but it is comfortable), and you squeeze the fixomull when you put it to crush the foamAgainst the adhesive.The ideal is to put it the first day or the second, not wait for you to take off.And with that, at least in my case, you are guaranteed the 2 weeks that last me (in cases of exercise and a lot of sweat, the adhesive ("skate") is wrinkling and sometimes I have to change it before (as minimum lasts 1 weekIn the worst case), but when you change it the sensor is still perfectly stuck.
That said, Holy.I just took this photo, it has 1 week (it is asking me to restart in a few hours) and perfect, superpegated and will last the other week without problems.
I have tried many other systems, but as soon as I found it and started working ... I don't waste time anymore, but I suppose each one is a world.
