Cover cannula

Hello, my question is whether you protect the pump cannula at the time of the shower or bathroom.We use a dressing, it is a transparent film so that the cannula does not get wet.Is it necessary?
All the best.

Hello,

I carry the Acu-Check bomb (the previous one) but I think the same spare parts are worth.In the needles that I use there is a little tapper to cover the shower or bathroom.When I take a shower, I don't always cover it, if I bathe or go to anything always.

I take her from Medtronic and I take a shower to put only the caps that the reservoir brings but well I only have been put with the bomb and I do not know if it is better to protect it better, but I do so I have not had a problem.

I also take her from Medtronic and it is not necessary to protect him or cover the cannula, I never did it at least for the shower, another thing is the beach or pool because you can take off and you may need to cover it.

I say that ... when bathing in the pool or beach, will we have to protect the canula with something, so that it does not obstruct/spoil with the salt or with the chlorine. What do you protect it?

My catheter brings a lid that puts it when you disconnect it, I have never put it ... but if you spend a lot of time in the water you can use it.

Well, we put the lid and the dressing on top, but last night I read and shower only with the lid and without problems.I guess the beach or pool will be another story to be more time in the water.
Greetings and thanks.
