HydroSeal Flex is a 7”x9” hybrid size
with a flexible, stretchable film providing
patient comfort and ease of use. For proper
application use the 7” side for the horizontal
axis and the 9” side for the vertical axis.
The 7”x9” hybrid size is an important part
of the design. Clinicians often reach for a
larger barrier (such as 9”x9”) to cover above
a PICC insertion site, which can “overwrap”
the arm and adhere to the other side of the film.

The stretchable, flexible film allows a full range of motion while preventing leakage, keeping the vascular access site, dressing, or incision dry during showering or sponge bathing.
Who it's for
When people reach for the HydroSeal Flex
PICC lines on the upper arm
Sized 7" x 9" so it reaches above and below a PICC dressing without wrapping all the way around a slim arm and sticking to itself.
On many upper arms a 9x9 barrier wraps all the way around and sticks to itself, which breaks the seal. The 7" width covers the dressing with room to spare without overwrapping.
Which way does it go on?
Apply the 7" side horizontally and the 9" side vertically along the arm, top tab first, about an inch above the dressing.
Will it come off when I lift my arm?
The film stretches with the arm. Press the whole border down firmly on clean, dry, lotion-free skin and keep the arm out of the direct spray.
Is the Flex single use?
Yes. Use a new one for every shower. It cannot be repositioned once it touches skin.
HydroSeal covers are for showering only. Never submerge a line, port, cast or fresh incision: no baths, hot tubs, pools or swimming. Covers and netting go over your intact sterile dressing and do not replace it. Always follow your care team's instructions.
