Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I too am allergic to Tegaderm. There are other coverings they can use. One is called IV 3000, it has orange edges and then there is Sorba-View. They may have to order these things but if you are allergic to Tegaderm, it needs to be on your allergy list and not used at all. I wound up having reactions to all three of these as well as all tape including paper tape. I think after awhile your body kind of starts rejecting everything. anyway, just wanted you all to know there are other things they can use. If you are having your bandages changed by home health, they can order this stuff for you. Then you will always have extra for the next PICC line and you can take your dressing with you when you go to have a new one put in.
