Waterproof Shower Cover (Leg)

Description: 

This product has been designed for those who have a leg cast, dressings or a wound that needs to be kept protected and dry to help support successful wound healing, and reduce risks of potential infection. 

This dry sleeve has been developed using the latest waterproof, IPX6 technology to create one of the most comfortable leg/knee dry sleeves that we have tried to date. The tightly sealed waterproof design makes it possible and a whole lot easier to shower, without the risk or fear that the site will get wet at all. 

Enjoy a less stressful and more convenient and easy shower or bathing experience again, without the need for single-use plastic bags and screeds of tape, or use a flimsy covering that had never had a chance of keeping the water out to start with. The dry sleeve is easy to put on, comfortable to wear and will stretch to accommodate and fit to a wide range of arm sizes. It will hold a tight seal around your arm without letting any water enter because of the IPX4 technology used.

We can confirm that THIS PRODUCT IS LATEX FREE!

Package Includes: 1x PICC Line Waterproof Cover 

How to use? Stretch the end of the cuff out to help make it more pliable, and then stretch it out to be able to put your foot through and manoeuvre it up your leg, and over the area that needs the cover. When it’s in place, make sure the cuff has a nice seal around your leg. Move any twists so that the seal is directly against your skin only, making sure there is no way for water to track in at all. Adjust the cuff for comfort. To create a stronger seal around your leg we suggest ‘burping’ the air out of the sleeve. Do this by placing a finger between the seal and your arm to ‘burp’ and then squeeze out any extra air, adding extra security. 

Care Instructions: Rinse the sleeve with warm water after use and ensuring that the sleeve is opened up, place it on a towel rack or somewhere to dry safely, ensuring that it has good ventilation to dry. To ensure good care of your PICC sleeve, always ensure that the sleeve is throughly dried before putting it away at all. 

Note: Wearing this PICC sleeve for a prolonged hot shower may allow your arm to sweat under the sleeve. This is not the product failing, rather of condensation build up, or sweating. Simply dry your arm afterwards.
