sometimes using a good skin prep like cavalon works well, I've used restore as well for patients who can not tolerate tegaderm. I hope the home health is changing the drsg every 48 hours!

Northington" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/30/2006 2:13 PM >>> I have a patient that is very, very sensitive to the Tegaderm that we use to cover the PICC and statlock. Does anyone have any suggestions for what other type of occlusive dressing that can be used, because the home health nurses decided to put gauze and paper tape over the PICC and statlock THanks in advance--G.G.
