Guest guest Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 The waterproof bandages we were given at Lexington Medical Center are called Tegaderm. I put one on to shower then, after showering, replace it with a conventional bandage. RC2K Dr. Gross 3/24/04 > You can get waterproof dressings that enable you to shower from when they remove the leg drain. They are the normal dressing here in the UK. I would think they are available anywhere if you ask. This is why I've recommended the use of a " soap on a rope " in previous emails. I was able to shower at day 3 post op - others did so from day 2. Waterproof dressings were also used by the District Nurse on her follow up house calls. > > Rog > BHR both sides 2001 R Treacy > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
