LimbO Waterproof Cast and Dressing Protector - PICC Line Cover M45, 22 to 25 cm Upper Arm Circumference

I have used this item several times now to keep my PICC line dry and it works a treat. It’s easy to put on, fits well, comfortable to wear and great value for money as I will need to use it for the next 5 months. No problems with the transactions.

Great item stops my sensor getting wet whilst showering or bathing

It’s best fitted by two people for an arm. Well designed does the job perfectly. It is being used to protect a PICC line when showering.

Good product. Suitable when showering to keep dressing dry.

I was recommended this at a PICC pre-assessment appointment (where I was also measured up to see which size would fit best) so ordered it in advance of my PICC line installation which was a week later.Use is easy. Slide it up your forearm, biggest hole first (the holes are two different sizes), concertina it together somewhat, then carefully slide the biggest hole up over your PICC line (use your fingers to ensure it doesn't snag) and up past it. Now move the lower one further up if necessary so you can comfortably cover the PICC and all of its associated dressing. Have your shower, then carefully slide the LimbO back down and off, again using your fingers to ensure it doesn't snag.Don't leave it on too long! Remember at the pre-assessment you will have been shown how easily veins get squashed by the lightest pressure, and you don't want to leave your PICC in a squashed vein for too long or you'll cause turbulence and risk clotting.

I have a PICC line and bought the sleeve to keep it and the dressing dry in the shower. I wasn't sure what size to order. I sent the measurements of my arm to the Limbo team. They replied promptly with a recommended size, and they were right.The sleeve works well. There are neoprene cuffs at either end of the sleeve which seal around the arm. The neoprene cuffs do get damp when they come into contact with water, but the dressing and PICC line stay dry. I wouldn't recommend submerging the sleeve under water though.It can be difficult showering with a PICC line when there is a pump attached to it. I found that I was able to tuck the pump with the line into the Limbo sleeve. If this is done carefully, the neoprene cuffs are not stretched and seal around the arm. I am not sure if everyone is able to do this however: it depends on the size of your arm and the available space between the arm and the sleeve.I would like to recommend the LimbO Waterproof Protectors Store. They replied promptly with a size recommendation when I sent them the measurements of my arm. They then followed up on the order to check if I received the sleeve. As it happened, I hadn't received it, but this was because post in my area was delayed due to Covid and staff shortages. When the Limbo Team learned this, they offered to send a replacement sleeve with a return envelop in case the original sleeve arrived. In the event, this was not necessary because the sleeve did arrive. However, I appreciated the pro-active approach by the Limbo team.

Bought this for my daughter's broken wrist. She has been able to bathe and shower while keeping her cast nice and dry. This product is so much better than cheaper ones as it has a snug fit and actually works.

A good fit , kept dressings dry , does what it is meant to do
