Funded Activity Summary

Cancer treatment often requires a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) for chemotherapy, transfusions, medicines, fluids, nutrition and/or blood sampling. Current PICC dressing and securement products are not preventing the 30% of PICCs that develop infection, occlusion, thrombosis or dislodgement. New products are available that may reduce complications. This trial will test their effectiveness, costs, comfort and practicality, working closely with patients, nurses and doctors.
