Getting Ready To Apply

How To Use KT Tape CGM Patch
For Best Results:
- Apply before activity: Apply at least 1 hour before exercising or exposing patch to water. This will help ensure strong adhesion to the skin.
- Clean Skin: Use rubbing alcohol to ensure the skin is clean and free from oils or lotions. Allow to air dry before applying patch.
- Trim Hair: Trim hair to ensure best adhesion to skin.
How To Apply:
The KT Tape CGM Patch is applied over and around your CGM device. Follow your device instructions to properly apply your device prior to application of the KT Tape Patch.
- Peel the center backing paper away to expose the adhesive on the patch. Avoid touch the adhesive side of patch.
- Apply exposed section of patch directly over and around the CGM device, ensuring that the edges cover the flange around your CGM device.
- Peel away the remaining backing paper from patch and press the patch to the skin.
After You Apply:
- Do not dry with heat: When the patch is wet, gently pat dry with a towel. The KT Tape Extreme adhesive is designed to stay in place through water, sweat, showers, etc. The fabric is a synthetic material that will get wet and will dry quickly.
- Trim any lifting edges: For any edges of the patch that may lift or fray, trim with scissors to extend the life and comfort of the patch.
How to Remove:
- Peel the patch up at the edge.
- If leaving the device on, place finger on the device to hold in place while removing and replacing the patch.
- Gently and slowly peal the patch back - not up.
