CATH DRY EXCELS AT IMPROVING YOUR OVERALL EXPERIENCE IN THE FOLLOWING SIGNIFICANT WAYS:

  •  Infection

    The exit site of a central venous catheter (hemodialysis, PICC and chemo) or peritoneal dialysis catheter is an open wound with a foreign body. These catheters prevent patients from safely showering and increase the risk of infection. Lack of hand washing and daily showering has been shown to increase the amount of bacteria on your skin. Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus (MRSA) infections are also more common with poor and inadequate hygiene. If this is accurate, then why are you being asked to avoid the shower? Infections in the catheter can spread to your blood stream leading to a lengthy hospital stay, many surgical procedures and a large hospital bill. Your catheter and exit site should be protected at all times with a sterile dressing. Live a healthier, hygiene friendly and infection free life with Cath Dry!

  • Quality of Life

    Asking a patient to avoid showering for weeks to months at a time is a challenging and frustrating task. There has to be a better and more practical solution. With Cath Dry it is time to start enjoying warm daily showers, swimming and laying out at the pool with your family and friends despite having a catheter. You don't have to feel left out anymore.
