All booklets provide background information, use and care instructions, and commonly asked questions with answers.  They are available free of charge to individuals with bleeding disorders, immune deficiency disorders, and nutritional/digestive disorders or their families.

BioRx developed the booklets after obtaining input and feedback from patients and their caregivers via the BioRx Consumer Advisory Board.  According to Peg Gruenemeier, RN, CRNI and Clinical Coordinator for BioRx, “The objectives for our patient education booklets are to facilitate the care of catheters, ports, and central lines, and in short, increase our patients’ independence in managing their disorder, thereby allowing them increased quality of life.  We believe that this in turn will improve the level of care for those with bleeding disorders, immune deficiency disorders, and nutritional/digestive disorders.”
