Keep Dressings Dry - with Two Reinforced Neoprene Seals
Two reinforced neoprene seals form a snug barrier around the upper arm, preventing water ingress by maintaining a close fit where the cover meets the skin. The seals are designed to stay flexible while holding shape during use.
Allows bathing and showering without needing to change dressings, protecting PICC lines and midlines from moisture risks.
Easy On and Off - with Self-supporting Flexible Seals
Self-supporting seals resist collapsing during application, so the cover can be pulled on or removed without excessive handling near intravenous lines. The flexible construction eases alignment over dressings.
Simplifies daily hygiene for patients and carers by reducing fiddly manoeuvres and trimming time spent managing dressings.
Comfort for Circulation-sensitive Users - with Non-constrictive Durable Material
A non-constrictive design and long-lasting material avoid tight compression around the arm while accommodating dressings. The internal space and soft edges reduce pressure points for sensitive skin.
Suitable for people with circulatory concerns and comfortable enough for repeated use during longer recovery periods.
