Tagader m vs. Glad press and seal

i put a paper towel folded up(to soak up any moisture) then press and seal and then a shower guard over dressing. I also plan my showers around dressing changes .

I’ve been using the tegaderm for 3 years now. Works perfect and I take a full shower every morning.

Here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, we were trained to cover the dressing with the gauze wrap plastic and seal with microporous tape. On top, we make second protection with plastic film sealed with microporous tape. Works great to avoid wetting the dressing. I´ve been using that in the last four years for daily shower.

I plan showers around dressing changes. I use  2 7 x7 shower guards to get the right fit. I use a hand held shower and use it all over.  Works great.

We uses Dollar tree or Saran Wrap . Wrap around drive line , tap above so that spray doesn’t drip into . You’ll get it after a couple of times . He had LVAD for 4 1/2 yrs. . Then received a new heart.

My wife uses Press’nSeal .. Tegaderm was harsh on her skin

Hi Cherie,

Tegaderm is better to use and my insurance company pays for it. I order my drive line supplies and tegaderm at the same. That is what they used in the hospital when showering.
