Where to buy Tegaderm?
10/19/2014 6:54 p.m.
Hello good,
I've been using Fixomull and the truth is that it has gone quite well, but I want to try Tegaderm because he is more comfortable to put.
But I don't know where to buy it, I looked in pharmacies, they didn't have, they asked for it and they brought me one that was not.
Thank you.
The Tegaderm manufacturer is 3M, I have seen that outside Spain you can buy online, but from Spain I have not managed to see how, I leave here the contact data in case you want to call them and to inform you.

By the way, what is it? The 6cmx7cm tegaderm film?
Could you confirm the please model?:)
That is, but it is just something for the Dexcom.
We prefer the fixomull that you use.

6x7 is just for the Dexcom, but it is perfect for free.I don't know what the ideal measure will be for the Medtronic sensor.

Although thinking about it, if I have to resort to adhesives to hold me the 14 days, then I pass with the system until they perfect or pay the days that really endures the sensor stuck in the skin
Well, I am also interested in which to buy and if it is easier to find the Tegaderm, which Banhop had trouble finding it.

The Fixomul is bought in pharmacies easily, I buy the 10cms x 2 meters, short and I hit it, and the truth is that it hits very well.
The Tegaderm looked for it because as I put on Dexcom on my arm they have to help me put on the fixomul, and so that it was more comfortable and did not have to trim I was looking for one that already had the more or less correct measurement.
I have seen the tegaderm by Ebay and little else.

How lucky Joseludi!In my pharmacy they have it 5x7, they have told me to look for my life to find that size, which they ask 3m of Easter to Ramos and it was going to take me a long time, so from Pharmacy in Faria I will go this week ...

Here is that I told me that 6x7 was very fair.You will tell me.I have 10x with the fixomul whatever and it seems good to me
In the end the pharmacy could not get the tegaderm.It seemed that they had it in "inventory" but because of whatever they could not get it.
This morning I called the 3M phones that Fer put.He has asked me from where he called and has given me the phones of 3 distributors.Asking which pharmacies distributed to me to go to any of them, they have told me that they can send it to me home.I had to think about it because they only sell boxes of 100 units.Tomorrow I commission them, I have seen on eBay, but I do not like when they sell units a thing that is marketed in boxes of 100. I also prefer to buy in Spain and not in the United Kingdom, apart from the fact that the date ofexpiration of what is on eBay
The Tegaderm is applied excellent and very easily.It is his great advantage, in addition to that it is a finer film.And if you have to do it alone and in the upper arm, I assure you that it is much more comfortable than the Fixomull, with which you will make more wrinkles.
Not to mention that when that film has to be changed, that then you lack hands and need help yes or yes if you do not want to take the sensor when the old film take off.
This is one of the "delicate" moments of the device;The change of adhesive ... if you need it, because there are people who do not cover the sensor in 14 days.Of course, nor do the gym smell, nor do sports, nor continuous showers ...

I have also called 3M and I have achieved the 6x7 tegaderm in Madrid at the Maran Medical company (Telephone 914690031).I have gone to pick it up but they also send it to you for 9 euros.The 100 -euro box has cost me 44 euros.
They have told me in 3M that it costs us so much to find it because it is hospital, non -pharmaceutical material.

There I have asked for it too.It should be noted that 44 euros plus VAT.
The free has come to me today, but until I do not get the Tegaderm I dare not put it on.(I don't know if I'm going to be able to endure)
