What is the adhesive part like? One of my major problems with bandages is the tape sticking too strongly and bruising a lot when it is removed. I don't usually have much problem getting the bleeding stopped with a bandaid. in Portland OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They stick slightly less well than regular bandaids. (I'm still " marked " three months later with where the adhesive patches were from my stress echo, sigh.) One of the cardios I went thru before I found my current good one had hypoallergenic stickers for the 24 hour monitor. Others have never heard of them. I would go back and find out where they got them, but I left the practice with a polite Dear Doctor letter about needing a doctor who understood the impact of afib, so I don't think I can show my face there again :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
