title: Tegaderm dressings for peritoneal dialysis and gastrojejunostomy catheters in children.
abstract: Peritoneal dialysis catheters are at risk for exit-site contamination when swimming or bathing. Also in pre-toilet trained children fecal and urine contamination can occur. The use of Tegaderm dressings prevents contamination and thus minimizes restriction of activity in children.
