A PICC line is a long, thin, flexible tube called a catheter. PICC means Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters

It is used to give you chemotherapy and other medicines. A doctor or nurse puts it into a vein above the bend of your elbow. It can stay in place until your treatment is over.

You will be given a local anaesthetic to numb the area before the PICC line is put in. Your doctor or nurse will gently thread the line along the vein in your arm until it’s in a large vein in your chest. You will have an x-ray to check it’s in the correct position.

The PICC line is held in place by a dressing, which is usually changed every week. The cap at the end of the line is replaced each week to reduce the risk of infection. The line is flushed regularly to prevent it becoming blocked.

Bold Beanies PICC Line Covers can give you peace of mind against any catching the tube on clothing or in bed. Super soft, stretchy and breathable cotton material, our PICC Line Sleeves also come in beautiful Liberty prints and practical plains which can also match our cancer treatment hair loss hats.

Going gradually bald as a man and loosing your hair suddenly are very different things. Sudden hair loss from an illness like Alopecia or having chemotherapy treatments for cancer can leave you feeling very cold as well as feeling exposed and a lack of confidence. 

Men, like women will lose hair all over their bodies with aggressive chemotherapy. A man's face can look very different with no eyebrows and he will realise that eyelashes serve a purpose of keeping dust etc out if the eyes.

Felling comfortable and covering up is therefore very important to men as well as women with cancer. Bold Beanies come in two sizes and in an array for masculine plain colours (which can also be customised with a name or slogan of your choice) or fab Liberty Prints for men.

I know from my own experience that finding something comfortable and breathable is hard and yet very important when suffering from hair loss, especially from cancer chemotherapy as you lose your hair suddenly and feel the cold or more permanent hair loss such as Alopecia. 

You can't wear a wig or scarf comfortably in bed and they slip about when you move. I ended up wearing woolly hats in bed, but these were itchy and often too hot... so I would take it off... and then find myself freezing cold, especially as I had my chemo during winter months and lived in a draughty house. But these soft hats are great for warmer weather too as they are temperature controlling and wick away sweat.
