Using it and loving it.  It is easy to place, I am not having occlusions but using mostly single lumen for cancer patients.  I have only used a few double lumens and had minimal problems with one or the other lumen kinking off but upon pt movement or position change opened right back up.  I initially thought it was occluding until it happened multiple times on the same 2 patients.  I highly recommend this PICC.

when I see posts that the poster is not willing to put their name down or disclosure makes me wonder why

does the poster not want their identity known and why

I am beginning to wonder.  I think it is great to share information on trials, products, results, and outcomes.  Please let us know who you are so you can have some credibility regarding your experience.  I personally am not afraid to put my real name down on my posts.  I think that is important.  You do not need to disclose where you work as that can be tricky and cause issues with your job but how about a full name and maybe some credentials.

Kathy,

If you are referring to my post I can assure you not posting my name etc was not an intentional attempt to misguide anyone.  I am a PICC nurse who is lucky enough to have the support of my director in regards to choosing products that I feel are in the best interest of my patients.  After a trial of several PICC's I chose the BioFlo due to its performance.

I am proud to post my name!
