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.

LOVE!
I simply love my sleeve! I have very sensitive skin and have had problems with every other sleeve I've tried (including medical spandage). This sleeve is comfortable! It protects my skin from the extension tubing and swab cap that usually cause irritation. The pocket feature is brilliant. It can be a bit frustrating to get the sleeve on, but once in place it is so worth it! Many thanks!

Fantastic cover!
This sleeve is just what I was looking for. Easy to use. Got the purple and the color is great. All the nurses and doctors want to know where I got and, of course, I tell them! And I really appreciate the prompt service - I ordered on Sun, it shipped on Mon and I had it on Wed.

Great product!
This sleeve is an excellent design. So glad to find something like this. Not sure what we would have done without it. It perfectly fits, is functionally, protects and disguises. My son did not like to see the picc line or bandage, so this helped him emotionally. It was great for me as his caregiver, because it was very functional, easy to get to the line when needed and provided a pocket to keep the port safe, secure and clean. The only negative was that we ordered an orange, but received a green because the orange was out of stock. But, appreciate them sending out the green quickly! Would highly recommend this product and company. Great design and product.

Just what I was looking for
I live in the UK and I have been looking for a sleeve to cover my PICC line. I was informed at my hospital that the only thing we can buy here is a "tubular support bandage", which I tried, but even the largest size was compressing too much over my PICC. After a quick google search I found the careAline website and decided to order this sleeve, which arrived extremely quickly. I can't praise CareAline customer service enough, and I couldn't be happier with the sleeve. It fits just right, without being tight or sliding down. I will be recommending CareAline to anyone with a PICC line.

This Cover is Great!
The design of this cover truly sets it apart. I love that I can roll up my line and tuck it all in the little pocket, yet still have easy access. Your covers have made my PICC line experience a little easier:) The only thing I can ask for is more colors!

What a Lifesaver!
This is one of the best products for my picc line that I invested in. I can have the breathability of cotton, yet it still be covered up nicely by the privacy cover. No more silly tubular netting that they send you home from the hospital in. Very highly recommended to anyone who has a picc line!

Very Helpful Product
My 22 month old son just had his first PICC line put in, and these sleeves have been great for keeping it from bothering him as much. He is extremely active and curious, so it's a minor miracle that he has only gotten the cap out of the pocket once! If your child measures close to the next bigger size, I recommend sizing up. These fit snugly on purpose, and the size 2 fit my son's 5.5 inch bicep just great - the size 1 was just too tight for his arm.

PICC Sleeve
The fact that I found this company online makes me want to cry happy tears. My 18 mo son fell victim to a horrible infection and had a PICC line inserted in order for us to administer antibiotics for a long term period. As soon as we got home from the hospital, I was online searching for PICC line covers and came across this site. I watched their instructional video on how to put it on and immediately knew that this product is exactly what we were looking for. I ordered it in the wrong size, was credited for the amount, and told to donate them to the hospital or someone who needs them (loved!!! this). I then ordered the correct size and they rush shipped it for me. I received it in 2 days --- INCREDIBLE SERVICE for a very worried parent! The product itself is amazing for the following reasons: It saved my son from having to wear additional medical tape on his extremely sensitive skin. It comes in several colors. It keeps the picc line in place and covered - reduces risk of infection, kinks, breaking, and moving around. My baby was able to play around as if the line wasn't there. He can't touch it or play with it which gives us peace of mind during naps / sleeping at night. This product made our lives much easier during a difficult time. I'm SO thankful I found them. Thank you for creating this.
