I would also recommend the 3 M NO Sting Barrier - comes in a 3 pack of
swabs or a bottle with 50 sprays in it - it is wonderful stuff - I recommend it
all the time, maybe I should buy stock!!

Have you attempted to use the "3M Cavilon No-Sting
Barrier film" on the patient's skin prior to placing a dressing? This is
a plastisizer that provides a protectant between the patient's skin and the
dressing is also promotes the dressing to stick to some patients who have
problems. This has been our soloution. Hope this
helps.

Hello All!!
I have a patient with graft versus host disease and all of the
associated skin issues. He has a picc line but we can not get the dressing
to stick to him for any length of time, usually longer than 24 hours. At a
loss for what to do. Please advise if you have any ideas.
