“I am a nurse who also gets home IVs at least 4 times per year. You gave me a couple of your IV site protectors to try out when we met at the Legal Nurse Consultant Conference in the spring of 2000. I just had my first home infusion since the meeting and we tried it. I really liked it. The biggest advantage for me was decrease in pain. My IV is usually put in 24-36 hours before I infuse so that I have some flexibility in arranging my infusion around a very busy and active schedule. So for a while the IV is a heparin lock while I work, shop, and do all my usual activities. As a result, the hub is exposed to some movement from constant use of my arm in addition to pressure from overlying clothes, carrying things, inadvertent bumping etc. Of course, any movement of the hub causes pain. With I.V. House® I experienced very little pain - my IV was in 24 hours before I infused. And, now that everything is out, it is not as sore post infusion, post-removal as it usually is. I would say I I.V. House® is a definite PLUS for the ACTIVE home infusion patient.”
