TapeGuard helps you to apply the jewelry tape perfectly, even on difficult parts of the body, without any outside help.
The new adhesive aid for our ring tapes, "TapeGuard", is a soft, very flexible, transparent and breathable border that fits seamlessly like a second skin on any part of the body (stomach, arm, leg). The TapeGuard, for example, fits snugly around your Freestyle Libre 1/2 and is then covered with the tape . Our jewelry tapes are hypoallergenic and very skin-friendly. The TapeGuard can be reused permanently.
The round TapeGuard is delivered including 5 decorative tapes in concealing beige. The decorative tapes in beige or colored can be reordered here . Would you like to add a little color to your diabetes routine and make your sensor look less medical and sterile? You can find matching stickers here . These are of course compatible with the TapeGuard and our decorative tapes. Note: This product is purely decorative. It has no medical purpose and is not a medical device within the meaning of the Medical Devices Regulation. Please also note that according to the respective manufacturers, glucose sensors, catheters or patch pumps do not require any additional fixation such as fixation plasters, fix tapes or sensor holders.Frequently asked questions about the product

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.
