NOTE: As noted the CoverCath is
recommended for use two weeks after the catheter has been inserted and the sutures holding the catheter to the skin
has been removed. This applies only to dialysis permacaths. CoverCath cannot be used for acute dialysis catheters
because they are sutured in place.

which is done from the slit in the middle of the adhesive.
- (Step 11-14): Press the adhesive firmly on the skin and follow the same procedure on the upper part of the adhesive
carefully bending the bag to peel off the adhesive.
- (Step 15): Press the whole CoveCath to the skin. The catheter can coil inside the bag.
- In removing the CoverCath, slowly pull from the top of the adhesive until the whole bag is taken off. There might be
slight pain on removing the device.
