IV 3000 dressing on Permcath exit sites.
With an increasing number of elderly clients now being accepted onto our haemodialysis programme, Permcath (Quinton Instrument Co., Seattle, WA, USA) catheters have become the chosen form of long term vascular access in many of these people. With this has come the need not only to adapt, but where necessary change the previous format of covering dressings at the exit site of these catheters.
