With Cath Dry you can safely shower and swim with your hemodialysis catheter. That's with a greater than 75% reduction in risk of infection.

Other than the cost, I think these are a great idea.  I could see myself taking most any brand UN-lubricated condom, dry, poking my PD Cat inside and carefully taping it to my chest.

This is SOOOO possible, and NOT have the worry about the Handy-Wrap failing as it has soooo many times.

Swimming, hot tubbing????   They haven't been possible at al the last two years since I started PD.   I do miss getting wet without any worries!
