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.
