There are many products on the market to allow you to prepare the skin for an injection glucose sensor or pump, etc. It is important to clean the area of skin and also to protect it from the adhesive that is used to firmly position the device to your body. With repeated use of this tape your skin is at risk of infection if not properly primed. The first step to take to decrease the chance of infection or bacterial contamination is to prepare the skin, using IV prep antiseptic wipes. These convenient wipes will assist with prepping the skin with an antiseptic solution. Once the area is clean the risk of bacteria entering the body is greatly reduced. This is especially important to those people with diabetes who have an increased risk of infection and increased healing time. The next step would be to use Skin prep wipes or skin tac wipes to protect the skin. Tape can tear the skin and that may increase the chance of an infection. It provides a barrier between the skin and the adhesive in order to allow for better adherence of the tape to the skin without irritating that area of skin. These products are readily available to you! Try different brands and see which one you like best.
