Title: Second pair of buttonholes....
Post by: tyefly on February 17, 2010, 10:47:46 AM

I am wondering if any of you have a second pair of buttonholes.....   I was thinking maybe to have a second pair to alternate between the two since I am doing treatments every day.....   does any one else do this  or is this necessary.....

Nope...we've been using the original set of buttonholes established when we first started home hemo (July of 2007).  However, I do know how to start a second set if we need them -- just haven't needed them yet ( :bow; ).

I would only start a second set if I were having trouble with the first set.

We use the same set of buttonholes.  I did have to make a new venous one a couple of years ago.  I would just make another one if I had too.

I wish our clinic used buttonhole.  Sounds like the best way to go.
