I am really struggling to get a PICC line cover that actually fits. The hospital tubigrip just rolls down and then digs in, and they don't have anything bigger. I bought one off Amazon and that doesn't stay in place. Any suggestions gratefully received as this is going to be with me for quite some time and I can't be done with the frustration 

  • Have you thought of making one from the sleeve of of an old top, making a hem at both ends and threading some light elastic through?

  • Hello Tracy - I am so sorry you don't have many responses to your post - it's not up my street as I am mainly active in the Prostate Cancer Group.

    However I see you are in the Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia forum. . Can I suggest you repost your question there and see if there is anyone with an answer.

    I hope this gets you an answer to the issue and best of luck on your journey.

    Brian.
