A friend recommended this product. Anyone ever use it?

Durable, simple to apply, self-adhesive and latex-free, AquaGuard is the moisture barrier for home and hospital use.

A unique solution to the cumbersome problem of protecting wound dressings and vascular devices while showering, AquaGuard provides visability without compromising safety or comfort.   

Available in a variety of sizes, AquaGuard is ideal for protecting infusion sites, wound dressings, stoma, incision care, or transdermal patches.

If you're a hairy person (lots of hair on your chest where the catheter site usually is), the hair may prevent the dressing from sticking tightly enough to the skin to avoid leakage.  And shaving one's chest regularly is going to itch like hell (as if we ESRD folks didn't have enough problems with itching already).
