What do you tell your patients to do as far as bathing/showering? We normally tell them to take only baths. Has anyone found an acceptable cover to use for the catheter when showering?

Larry,
I have had a right side PermCath for 6 months and I take baths and showers. All I do is make sure that I don't get the lines at all wet and that means being careful and washing with the shower head in your hand. However my PermCath is very short and only comes out a bit from my chest and I can see if you had long tessios this would be a problem but you could tape them up higher whilst showering. |
