    • 1). Wash your hands before touching the PICC line site. Until the skin is healed, infection can occur if bacteria get into the wound.

    • 2). Squeeze a pea-sized amount of ointment onto the cotton swab. Apply a thin layer to your skin over the area where the PICC line was removed.

    • 3). Fold a sterile piece of gauze into a one-inch square. Place it over the wound and secure in place with a large adhesive bandage or medical tape. Change the dressing daily until it is healed.
