Pic line protection
Roger
I have had 2 pic lines since 2008 and have not had much of a problem.
I have never needed to have added protection in the shower.
My dressing consists of a stat lock and 2 IV 3000 s (clear sticky dressings). This dressing is changed in the hospital every week.
There were a few occasions when I had to remove the IV 3000 s (edges were peeling up) and replace them. The first time I had to do that I was anxious but I managed it. Allow yourself plenty of time. I have not needed to replace IV 3000 for a long time. I think there was a faulty batch of them.
Best of luck with your Pic Line and your treatment[/font].
