SYSTEM CONTROLLER:
DRIVELINE EXIT SITE
CARE AND STABILIZATION
It is very important to keep the driveline exit site
(where the driveline goes through the skin) clean
and dry at all times. Keeping the exit site clean and
dry lowers your risk for infection. After leaving the
hospital, you are responsible for caring for the exit
site. Be sure to always follow the steps provided
by your nurse or hospital contact. A driveline
management system, supplied by the implanting
center, should be used at all times. The driveline
management system should consist of a dressing
and stabilizer.
If you notice any signs of infection, call your
hospital contact right away. Do not wait!
Early treatment makes a difference.
