I bought a "Limbo" cover off of Amazon - very good no leakage.

My first communication . I too bought from limbo. Works great. Second time with picc line and it's best I've found. Delivery was swift also even with covid delays.

It’s called a limbo and your doctor can prescribe it , just pick up from pharmacy, much better than cling film !

Can I ask what was it like getting it in. I am due to start weekly chemo soon and can see I am heading for a picc line. Trying to even get blood out me is like trying to get blood out a stone.

Hi Karen. It was fine. I must admit, it was a bit more like surgery than I expected. I thought I would be in and out but it was a painless procedure. I’m sure it will be better than all of the prodding and poking trying to find a vein x
