Simplera Sync CGM Protection: Underpatches, Adhesive Repair & Everyday Wear

Simplera Sync is a compact all-in-one CGM used with compatible Medtronic systems. Even a small wearable can face the same everyday problems as other sensors: clothing friction, towels, sleep movement and adhesive edges that begin to lift.

Start with the problem you want to solve

If your priority is creating a full barrier layer beneath the device adhesive, the 2-inch Freedom Underpatch™ is one of the Simplera-compatible options in our catalog. It uses a solid no-hole design. Learn more about that construction in our full-barrier underpatch guide.

Targeted edge repair

If a small adhesive edge begins lifting, a full replacement layer may not always be necessary. Freedom Fix-It Dots™ are designed for small targeted adhesive reinforcement. They are different from a full overpatch because they address a local area rather than surrounding the entire sensor.

Reduce common snag opportunities

Pay attention to sleeves, towels, backpack straps, seat belts and sleep movement. Our guide on why CGM sensors get knocked off covers those everyday contact points in more detail.

Keep device instructions first

Accessories should never block required openings, interfere with insertion or replace manufacturer instructions. Follow Medtronic's instructions for sensor placement, wear and removal, and talk with your diabetes care team if you have persistent skin reactions or repeated site problems.
