Liquid Medical Adhesive - Long-Lasting Non-Water Soluble Skin Bond for Dressings, Tapes, & Devices, Latex-Free, CHG-Compatible - 2oz Bottle

I put it in empty mastisol spray bottle to save money

As someone who uses adhesives to keep medical devices secure on my skin, I was excited to try Mastisol. I had been using Skin Tac, but when I switched to a new CGM sensor, I needed something stronger. The CGM company recommended Mastisol, so I gave it a shot. And I'm glad I did - it works wonderfully, keeping my overpatches in place for longer periods. However, the tiny bottle it comes in is a nightmare. The hard plastic and awkward tip make it a challenge to apply the product. I've tried using a cotton swab, squeezing the bottle upside down, and even rubbing the tip against my skin - all with varying degrees of success. It's a bit of a trial-and-error process, and I'm not thrilled about it. If I'm honest, I'd probably try to remove the top if I purchased this bottle again, just to make it more manageable. Despite the struggles, I appreciate the strong adhesion, and I'll likely continue using Mastisol. But I wish they'd reconsider the packaging!

Its very Durable, Great Quality, Dries fast, I cant find it anymore else

I just ordered my 3rd bottle. I use it for my G7 and pump infusion sites, and 1 bottle lasts me a full year. I use a flat makeup cotton circle, soaking half the circle with alcohol for cleaning, then add a few drops to the opposite end to wipe the entire area where I'll be sticking the device, followed by an overpatch for the G7. After application, I use the still-wet alcohol half of the circle to remove the Mastisol not covered by the overpatch or infusion site. Injecting through the Mastisol has never been a problem. Avoid getting it on your fingers, but a liberal dose of alcohol seems to allow it to be wiped away. The only down side is a rather strong odor that seems to last for most of a day. I try to use it before bed, then shower in the morning, and this removes the odor.

I previously tried the Freestyle Libre CGM system, but never got more than 1 1/2 days before the sensor fell off. I switched to the Dexcom G7 sensor, and used Mastisol to glue it in place. It held for 10 days, despite sweating heavily while working outdoors, showering, bumping it, lifting heavy boxes, and doing significant movement. This adhesive is great! I will definitely buy it again. While the adehesive seems expensive, the sensors are way too expensive to replace before 10 days of use. My only very small complaint is that the bottle has a little hole in its top, and it makes it difficult to precisely apply it to my body. I just purchased some small foam ended sticks from Amazon in hopes that it will help making application easier less messy.
