My tesio lines also have gauze wrapped around them, I just replace it after my shower. I find the tagederm keeps the wound dry.
Your unit should be able to prove gauze and tape if not try speaking to your gp.

I use a seat in shower now when washing hair with a plastic glove wrapped around line ! I just have to lean forward so the water doesnt touch ,ine and if I am washing I just keep the shower head low enough it again doesnt touch my line, its a real pain doing it this way but it does work. Is there anywhere else I could get tagaderm from ? ....Jan
