HOW WILL I BENEFIT FROM USING A CAREALINE® PRODUCT?

CareAline® products are designed to keep lines off of the skin and protected from external contaminants. Your risk for infection and line injury will be lowered significantly giving you a chance to focus on why the line is there; your treatment. You can wear the product while your line is accessed and its easily moved to the side for a site check. When at home or in the community, you will be provided with the privacy and security to live your life free from hanging lines and wandering eyes.

WHAT KIND OF LINES ARE THEY USED FOR?

CareAline® Sleeves are designed to cover and protect PICC lines in the arm or leg. CareAline® Wraps are designed for Central Lines and G/J and PEG tubes, and may work for other lines and tubes in the torso. Our sleeve and wrap are available in sizes ranging from infant to adult.

DO YOU ACCEPT PURCHASE ORDERS?

Yes! We work directly with many hospitals and other medical facilities. We accept purchase orders and will provide training for your staff on the proper use of the products and ongoing support for staff and patients.

If you would like to learn more about incorporating CareAline Sleeves and Wraps at your facility as standard of care, please email us at info@carealine.com

WHAT SIZE DO I NEED?

To determine what size you need, using a soft tape measure, starting at the point of insertion where your line is located, measure around the part of the body where the product will be used (arm, leg, torso, abdomen, etc.).

HOW DO I WASH MY CAREALINE® PRODUCT?

Keeping your line garments clean is an important step in protecting yourself from infection so we recommend washing every 1-3 days and when soiled.
Fasten the Velcro® on the CareAline® Wraps (this way nothing else sticks to the Velcro® while washing). All products can be washed on any cycle and we recommend drying on a medium heat.

  • During your hospital stay, you can certainly wash in the sink and lay flat to dry.
  • Proper care of  your CareAline® garment will extend the life of the product.
ARE THEY COVERED BY INSURANCE?

CareAline Sleeves and Wraps are FDA registered Class1 Medical Devices. Patients and hospitals have both been able to receive reimbursement for the cost by using DME billing code A4467. Please check with your insurance company for more information.

DO YOU USE ANTIMICROBIAL FABRIC?

This is a big no and question that comes up often. After discussing this topic with infection control experts, unanimously the recommendation was to avoid using an antimicrobial coating on our products. You can learn more about why from Dr. Claudia Hoyen, HERE>

Manufactured in and shipped from Logan, Utah.
