My daughter is a 23 year old Cystic Fibrosis patient. She has just had her fifth mediport implanted. Her mediport has been accessed for IV antibiotocs for the past 3 years without a break. She has very sensitive skin, and the only dressing that she can tolerate is your SorbaView. Currently her home care company is sending her the SorbaView 2000 3 3/4" x 5" dressing. It is much larger than her huber needle and there is a lot of excess adhesive on her skin, which causes additional irritation.

We are trying to find a smaller dressing hoping for a less irritated area of skin. Coram healthcare says there isn't a smaller dressing from your company that they have. They sent her Primapore, a dressing made by Smith & Nephew, yes they had it in a smaller size which would have worked well if the adhesive had stayed on for more than one hour, also there is no window in the dressing to observe the site, the window has some type of gauze in it. So needless to say even if it adhered properly it would not benefit her to not be able to see the insertion site.

I was wondering if there was anything you could do to get us a few samples of SV254UDT PEDI PICC and the smaller SecureView Port Dressing.

I would be willing to pay for the dressings if that would work. Thank you for your help in this matter.
