Review on Care Wear Unisex Ultra Soft Antimicrobial by Kevin Kimbrough

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Size VERY CHOICE but not the only issue

I am a female with a 14 inch hand size (measured three times - once by me, once by a nurse at the hospital who inserted my picc line has, and back to Home Health RH). There is no doubt that my hand measurements are accurate. I ordered M according to the size guide (13" to 15"). To say the sleeve is big is to say nothing. The thing is huge. It was so big it would literally just fall off my arm even if I didn't move at all WHILE wearing the Pikk line which would add extra bulk to my arm. I felt like I was wearing an XL size so I checked the packaging and case myself and it clearly says M 13"-15". So based on my experience I'll probably have to order at least 2 sizes smaller, but that's not the only issue. The quality of the material is the same as a very, very thin and cheap sock, but unlike a sock (or even a t-shirt) the fabric has ZERO stretch - sort of like a super thin tablecloth. The top and bottom of the tube appear to be even wider than the tube itself, so it's not surprising that it just falls off. Finally, the peak window is made up of a very fine mesh that I think I could tear apart with my fingers if I tried. Overall I would not recommend. I've ordered two more Picc Line covers to try from Revain, which should be arriving soon; meanwhile i will return it as soon as possible.
