Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the model?

Based on the type of catheter and the presence or absence of dressings. The version with a circular opening is indicated for catheters without dressings, while the rectangular, wider opening version is for catheters with dressings. In the latter case, care must be taken to ensure that the pocket adhesive does not overlap the underlying primary dressing. Otherwise, waterproof sealing will not be complete.

Can I apply it on my own or do I need assistance?

EXIT-POCKET® WP was designed to improve quality of life by making all activities involving water contact possible. The simplicity of the device allows for application and removal in complete autonomy. Assistance from family members or support personnel is not required.

Is it waterproof?

EXIT-POCKET® WP is waterproof; when applied correctly, it provides complete isolation of the exit-site from water, preventing bacterial contamination. For this purpose, it must be applied to clean, completely dry, and shaved skin. It is also necessary to ensure that the adhesive adheres completely to the skin. Therefore, before use, careful attention must be paid to the instructions for use included in the package.

Can it be reused?

No, it cannot be reused; EXIT-POCKET® WP is a single-use device. Reusing it compromises the seal and protection of the catheter from water.

How long can I keep it applied?

EXIT-POCKET® WP can be worn for as long as necessary to carry out personal hygiene routines or to practice sports or recreational water activities.

Is the pocket adhesive suitable for sensitive skin?

No cases of irritation resulting from use have been reported. However, as with all adhesive dressings, allergic reactions cannot be ruled out in particularly sensitive individuals.

What is the bottom opening for?

The opening at the bottom allows you to insert your hand into the pocket to properly position the catheter lumens or any dressing. Pockets with a bottom opening must not be used for activities that involve water immersion.

Does EXIT-POCKET WP replace the dressing?

No, EXIT-POCKET® WP does not replace the primary dressing, but protects it from water.

Which catheters can I use it with?

EXIT-POCKET® WP is indicated for all types of catheters and all implant sites, such as central venous catheters, peripheral venous or arterial catheters, peritoneal dialysis catheters, or peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC).

Which sports activities can I do with EXIT-POCKET WP?

All aquatic and water sports activities.

EXIT-POCKET® WP is a CE medical device. Read the warnings and instructions for use carefully.
