Welcome to Access Wear
Clothing designed with the dialysis
patient's comfort in mind

Created by two dialysis nurses as a response to their dialysis patient complaints of being cold during their hemodialysis treatment, Accesswear was designed to minimize patient exposure and provide warmth and comfort. Zippers are strategically placed in heavyweight cotton and polyester sweatshirts, sweatpants and fleece jackets to afford dialysis patients and their nurses ease in accessing the arteriovenous fistula, graft or permcatheter used during hemodialysis.

By simply unzippering the washable and durable zipper, only the necessary area is exposed making it convenient for dialysis to get underway. Patients are happy and their nurses are happy. At the end of treatment, close the zipper and you are suitably dressed to go about your day without looking like you have on medically adapted clothing. This product is a high quality, washable and fashionable garment which is warm and comfortable. It is also a great gift for a friend or family member on dialysis.

The products currently available through AccessWear include sweatshirts, sweatpants and fleece jackets.

The 50% cotton and 50% polyester sweatshirts have molded plastic zippers which can be located in either the right or left arm, shoulder to cuff to make the AV fistula or graft readily available to the nurse.

Also available is the 50% cotton and 50% polyester sweatshirts with zippers across the chest which open at either end to make access to permanent catheters easy and afford the patient significant privacy during treatment.

Sweatpants made of the same heavyweight 50% cotton and 50% polyester fabric can have 12 inch zippers placed in the upper left or upper right thigh area for patients with leg accesses.

Finally, a heavy weight navy fleece, zippered down the front is available with either a right or left arm zipper access, ideal for extra warmth.
