Freestyle Libre and Catheter Tape Pinkleo
inkl. MwSt.
The border tape specially designed for concealing Abbott Freestyle Libre 1 and 2 glucose sensors, Iport and detachable insulin pump infusion sets
The tape securely covers the sensor/iport/catheter on the skin and conceals the unsightly white adhesive border that looks dirty over time. All of our covering tapes are 100% breathable, waterproof and also anti-allergenic. If you want to apply your Freestyle Libre Tape to difficult areas of your body, such as the back of your upper arm, without any outside help, we recommend our permanently reusable TapeGuard concealment aid .Application: The sensor is placed as usual and then our border tape is stuck to the outside of the small adhesive edge. If you are using the TapeGuard concealing aid, you simply stick the plastic ring of the concealing aid and then put the TapeGuard with the border tape stuck to it over the sensor.
To visually enhance or conceal the medically white sensor, our Freestyle Libre stickers are the perfect addition to the border tape. Here you will find concealing motifs in skin colors, seasonal stickers, design motif stickers or funny sayings and icons.Material of all Zuckerschmuck® tapes:

Tips for overpatches/tapes for covering
Sticking on and changing the tapes is even easier with our TapeCover protective cap: this permanently reusable plastic part is stuck between the tape and the sensor and ensures that you can easily remove the tape during operation and stick on a new tape.
Tips for border tapes with holes
We have developed our adhesive aid TapeGuard for tapes with a hole: TapeGuard is a small, flexible plastic frame that fits exactly around your sensor and onto which the tape is stuck. Tape and TapeGuard can then be easily stuck on even in difficult areas of the body without any outside help.

Can I change the tapes while the sensor/pod is running?
You can easily remove or replace the tape at any time while the sensor/pod is in use: Press the sensor/pod firmly onto the skin from above and carefully peel the tape around the outside from the skin. While you continue to press the sensor/pod firmly onto the skin with one finger, first pull part of the tape away from the sensor/pod until a sufficiently large area of the sensor/pod without any tape is visible. Press this area of the sensor/pod without any tape with your finger and peel off the rest of the tape.
