"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
