  1. Neonatal PICC dressings- What brand do you use in your unit?

    rowena222 posted a topic in Infusion, Intravenous
    I work in a newly formed PICC team for the NICU in our hospital. We are looking for new PICC dressing options and would really like to know what other hospitals are using. Currently we use 3M Tegaderm, but find that it doesn't always hold up very well (especially in larger babies). Also, I think it's a little rough on the skin, especially for the micro-preemies. We trialed one that had a gauze border, but found that the edges start lifting up, especially in the bigger, sweatier infants. We do our dressing changes PRN. Also, do you use a skin protectant barrier on the skin surrounding the site? We were using Cavilon, but recently switched to AllKare (but I'm unsure if this product is sterile-- I plan on calling the company to find out). Thanks in advance.
