"The first question that a patient asks me after they have their line inserted is ‘Can I have a shower?’ I have Independence Shower Pouches in the procedure room and I show them how to use them to safely shower. The shower pouches always stay in place and provide the extra security patients rely on. My patients love them."
Adele, Senior Nurse

"On a family holiday in Wales, my son wasn’t able to join family activities on the beach for fear of water splashing onto his line. That’s when I remembered I had Independence pouches in the boot of the car. I put them on and Zak was able to join our fun in the water."
Erika, Proud Mother and patient advocate

"Using the pouches has made things normal again. I can have a shower without having to make sure my line stays dry. The pouches are so easy to use and I love the fact that my deliveries come when I need them."
Denise, Busy Grandmother and dog owner

How to use

Watch a video tutorial on how to apply the Independence Activity Pouch in a few easy steps.

Remove Dressing

Gently remove the catheter dressings from around the exit site.

Prep

Prepare the skin around the dressing using a barrier wipe to prevent irritation from medical adhesives. Remove hair from around the protected area.

Insertion and Positioning

Peel off the backing paper. Gently guide the catheter through the pre-cut 30mm opening. Place the pouch onto the skin.

Adhesion

Carefully press the pouch onto the skin, smoothing firmly around the edges to ensure full contact. Gently flatten any skin folds to avoid creases. Do not reposition the pouch, as this can reduce how well it sticks.
