As you may be aware, PICC lines need to be cleaned on a regular basis and depending on how long you and your wife will be away, she may need to consider who will clean and dress it and take the necessary dressings with her. The PICC line will also usually need flushed once a week.
Probably, the best thing for your wife to do is to speak to her specialist team about this. They can give her advice and show her how to manage her PICC line while she is away.
