OHMRX Skin Prep Guide

A simple, clinically informed routine for better adhesion, healthier skin, and longer‑lasting CGM wear.


1. Why Skin Prep Matters

Proper skin prep is the foundation of secure, comfortable CGM wear. It helps you:

  • Reduce irritation

  • Improve adhesion

  • Prevent early lifting

  • Keep sensors stable during workouts, showers, and daily activity

A clean, dry, well‑prepped surface makes every patch perform better.


2. Step‑by‑Step Skin Prep Routine

Step 1 — Clean the Area

Use mild soap and warm water to remove oils, lotions, and sweat. Pat dry completely.

Step 2 — Use OHM PREP Skin Prep Wipes

Our alcohol‑free formula:

  • Conditions the skin

  • Reduces irritation

  • Improves patch adhesion

  • Leaves no sting, no residue

Gently wipe the area and allow it to dry for 10–15 seconds.

Step 3 — Avoid Lotions or Oils

Anything moisturizing will weaken adhesion. Keep the area clean and product‑free.

Step 4 — Apply Your Sensor

Insert your CGM sensor as usual. Make sure the adhesive ring is fully pressed down.

Step 5 — Apply Your OHMRX Patch

Choose your Dexcom G7 or Libre 3 cover. Center it over the sensor and smooth outward to remove air pockets.


3. Tips for Sensitive Skin

If you have sensitive or reactive skin:

  • Use OHM PREP (alcohol‑free, sting‑free)

  • Avoid shaving right before application

  • Rotate sites to prevent irritation

  • Remove patches slowly with warm water or oil

Your skin should feel comfortable — never irritated.


4. Tips for Better Adhesion

For maximum hold:

  • Apply patches to dry skin

  • Avoid applying right after a shower

  • Wait 1 hour before heavy sweating

  • Press edges firmly for 10–15 seconds

  • Use OHM PREP before every application

These small steps dramatically improve wear time.


5. When to Replace Your Patch

Replace your patch if:

  • Edges begin to lift

  • You’ve worn it for 7–10 days

  • You’ve been swimming frequently

  • You notice buildup or irritation

Fresh patches = better adhesion + better comfort.
