Patches for Dexcom G6/G7/Stelo

Dexcom G7 Patches: Waterproof Overpatches for G7, Stelo and G6

Dexcom G7 patches, also called overpatches, are adhesive covers that sit over your sensor to help it stay put through sweat, showers, swimming and everyday friction. Lexcam makes pre-cut, waterproof, hypoallergenic and latex-free patches for the Dexcom G7, Dexcom Stelo and Dexcom G6, so you can wear your sensor for its full cycle with less worry.

Dexcom includes an overpatch in the G7 box. If you want extra coverage, a different color, or a waterproof patch made for workouts and swimming, that is where Lexcam comes in. Choose a clear patch that blends in, or a black or tan patch that matches your style or skin tone. Wearing a different monitor? Shop our Freestyle Libre patches or Omnipod patches.

Why Dexcom G7 Sensors Fall Off Early

Sweat, hot showers, pool days, tight clothing and daily movement all work against the adhesive on your sensor. The result is a corner that lifts, a sensor that shifts, or a sensor that comes off before its time. A good overpatch adds a second layer of hold across the whole sensor, and it is one of the simplest fixes if your Dexcom G7 keeps falling off.

Waterproof and Sweatproof Patches for the Gym, Pool and Summer

Lexcam patches are built to stay on through showers, sweat and swimming. That makes them a good fit for gym sessions, beach days and hot weather.

Dexcom G7 Patches for Sensitive Skin

Lexcam patches are latex-free and hypoallergenic. If your skin is sensitive, test a small piece first before applying a full patch. Patches are suitable for both adults and kids. For more help with lasting adhesion, see Diabetes Device Adhesive 101.

How to Apply a Dexcom Patch

  1. Clean the skin and let it dry completely. Avoid lotions and oils, and trim hair in the area if needed.
  2. Apply and activate your Dexcom sensor by following Dexcom's instructions.
  3. Peel the backing from the pre-cut patch, then place it over the sensor and press down firmly, smoothing out from the center.
  4. Avoid soaking the area for a short while after applying so the adhesive can settle.

How to Remove a Patch Without Irritation

Peel slowly from the edge. Warm water in the shower, or baby oil or adhesive remover around the edges, can help. Patches remove cleanly with minimal residue.
