CareAline’s Hypoallergenic PICC Line Sleeve with patented utility offers a buttonhole that guides line(s) off the skin providing a barrier from bacteria and contamination, while also protecting the skin from irritation and pressure related injuries, helping reduce exposure to infection. It is the only product on the market to have a securing pocket technology to safely store and secure PICC Lines and extensions. The two-layer design provides safe securement that keeps the patient in mind and was functionally designed to reduce dependency on adhesive products. Hypoallergenic cotton offers high quality comfort first, breathable material, with no added skin irritants such as coatings, latex or rubber. Product is easily washable in a machine washer and dryer, or by hand in a hospital.
How to use the CareAline PICC Sleeve
After simply pulling the sleeve onto your arm and over the insertion site, the cap(s) and line is fed through a buttonhole then placed in a pocket. The pocket is a simple but important feature that keeps lines and caps off of the skin and is unique to CareAline’s patented products. The top of the sleeve is then folded down providing a second layer of protection. Access the line as indicated while keeping the sleeve in place and secure. The pocket can be faced up or down to accommodate line placement.

Can't say enough about it!
My 12 month old was hospitalized for two weeks and had a PICC line inserted during her stay. I ordered the CareAline instead of another sleeve because I liked the way it kept it sanitary, safe, and out of her way while still being accessible (especially in her sleep!). The doctors, nurses, and other caregivers were so impressed with the sleeve that now the Child Life staff are working with the hospital to have some on hand for others in the pediatric unit. You've made a truly useful product that makes everyone's lives a little easier during a hard time. Thank you.

Great concept!
This is a great idea! I think a lycra (slippery) material would be better so it doesn't catch on long sleeve shirts. It is more like a t-shirt material. I ordered the size that you recommended from the measurements which was too big and fell down. I would recommend ordering a smaller size that what is recommended. Great for piclines w/ extension. Holds everything in place. Good luck w/ this product - I hope everyone with a picline will try this!

Perfect PICC cover
I am VERY satisfied with this PICC line cover, it fits wonderfully and the material is soft and non restricting. The Care taken in making sure the opening is in correct place as well as the tab to hold tubes in place and pocket for Caps. This PICC cover is just what I need for when I am traveling to Dr's appointments while on the IV therapy and feel confident my PICC Line site is protected and yet is still breathable. I highly recommend this quality product. Since I require PICC lines a few times a year I will be ordering more of these for sure.
