How To's: PICCPerfect®
- Measure the circumference of your arm with a flexible measuring tape where your PICC Line is inserted
- See our chart above and choose the best size fit. If you are in-between sizes, choose the smaller size
PICCPerfect® is designed to have a snug and comfortable fit. If your PICC Line Cover is slipping down, email us at listenup@mightywell.com or give us a call and we will help get the size of the best fit.
P.S.: We know you’re going to love wearing your PICCPerfect® Cover - just like your favorite jeans, when you wear them a lot they stretch out. But don’t worry, just put them in the washing machine and the fabric will recover to its original size.
- Turn the PICCPerfect® inside out, with the coated holes showing on top
- gently pull the device up the arm
- Align the slits with the insertion site
- Pass the lumen(s) through one hole, whichever is more comfortable until the catheter line is completely out and not touching the skin
- If you have extension tubing, carefully wrap the PICC around your arm
- Fold the OUTER/BOTTOM layer to create a pocket for the PICC to rest inside without pulling

Once I new I was getting a PICC, I searched online for how to care for it and related products.
While socks and tubes were common solutions, dedicated covers looked like my best option. Many were effectively just sports sleeves, other appear to be poor equivalents of the PICCPerfect® Cover.
The PICCPerfect® Cover provides the most features ... from the ports to allows easy access, to the anti-microbial material and various size options to get the best fit.
While waiting for my delivery I used various tubes (often elasticated bandages)... all of which ended up being far too tight didn't allow easy access to the ports, and the materials were rough causing discomfort after a few hours. As soon as I put on the PICCPerfect® Cover, my arm felt cooler and more comfortable... I was much more at ease and able to use my arm as normal.

My 18-year-old son could not have survived his picc line without the picc sleeve and shower sleeve. Thank you to Paula at Boston Children’s Hospital for the great recommendation.
Thank you for choosing Mighty Well and for sharing your wonderful feedback. Everyone here at Mighty Well is a fan of Paula!

My nurse recommended the PICC Perfect Cover 2 Days before I got it i was using the equivalent of a tube sock with toes cut off. The PICC perfect cover was a game changer.
Customer service is also really good. I accidentally shipped to the wrong location near offered to help me with that even contacting me on the weekend. Luckily I was able to do it without their help.
