FAQs
What makes the Sherpa IV Zip Hoodie different from a regular hoodie?
It’s designed with discreet arm zippers for IV and PICC line access, plus a plush sherpa fabric that provides exceptional warmth for infusion rooms and cold-weather comfort.
Why choose this over a regular sherpa hoodie?
Regular sherpa hoodies aren’t designed for medical access. With ours, you don’t have to struggle to pull sleeves up or remove layers during treatment — just unzip the discreet zippers on the sleeve(s) and you’re ready.
What kind of medical access does it provide?
It features hidden zippers along both arms, making it easy to access IV sites, PICC lines, or for blood draws without removing layers.
Why do customers love it?
Because it delivers the ultimate in warmth and comfort without sacrificing function. No more freezing in infusion rooms — you stay cozy and covered while still having easy access for medical needs.
Is it only for infusion days?
No! While it’s perfect for treatment, customers love it for lounging at home or running errands on chilly days. It looks like a stylish sherpa hoodie, not medical clothing.
Does it look like medical clothing?
Not at all! It has a stylish, cozy sherpa design that looks just like a regular hoodie — no one will know it’s made for infusion access unless you tell them.
What fabric is it made from?
The Sherpa IV Zip Hoodie combines a soft sherpa outer shell with a cozy sherpa lining to keep you extra warm during treatment days or cold seasons.
Is this item MRI or CT scan safe?
No. This garment contains metal hardware and should be removed before entering an MRI or CT scan environment. If you need a scan-safe option, the IV Scan Hoodie is designed specifically for that - metal-free Velcro openings, same infusion access.

Customers praised this ultra-soft, warm hoodie designed for medical treatments. "Best thing I could ever bring to the hospital," said one reviewer. The arm zippers provide easy IV access during infusions, dialysis, and blood draws. Most loved the comfort and warmth, though several noted it runs large—sizing down recommended. Some concerns about price point and zipper quality.
I bought 2….(one for each daughter that had crohns). They love the color, fit, softness and ease of having their infusions!
This hoodie is so functional and so soft . It takes all the tugging away from the tubing ! Definitely recommend
Fits good , really warm and soft .
Love it , I have already decided to order another one for laundry day back up .
I really wanted this sweater for my infusion so I snagged the last small size hoping it would fit well and my gosh it was perfect. Just enough oversize to make it super comfortable and keep me warm during my infusion. And the nurses were shocked that there are these “infusion sweatshirts/hoodies” being made (great chit chat topic). I cannot wait to purchase more!
I'm SO grateful I had this sweatshirt for my first Skyrizi infusion. I was so comfy cozy. The material is incredibly soft and my nurse thought the sleeves were the coolest thing ever. I wish I had this sweatshirt for all my other medication infusions in the past! It made the two-hour infusion one of the best I've had and I definitely plan to wear this to all future infusions and blood draws.
I have a few of the original IV Hoodies, and they're great for my weekly infusion days (the nurses love them, too). I was so excited when I found out about the new sherpa one, and HAD to have it. It's so soft and comforting in a cold hospital room. Definitely glad I got it!
Sherpa IV Zip Hoodie
Excellent product. Wears well and is durable. The zippers on both arms come in handy when I'm in the very cold dialysis clinic.
Hoodie washes well, even when you get blood on it.
I highly recommend this hoodie!
No need for those awful johnnys with this special gift to yourself. The doctors and nurses were both very impressed with easy access and the ability to keep warm without having to constantly ask for blankets etc. genius products.
I love the sweater it’s just so big. It feels like a large. I should have ordered a small, I wear a medium.
Great hoodie for chemo. The only issue I have is that the warm fuzzy sweatshirt does not have zippers for port access.
I'm so glad I found this! It makes my time in the dialysis chair a lot more comfortable. Instead of freezing, I stay warm and cozy. I ordered a small instead of a medium and glad I did. The first one I ordered I returned, and the return was easy.
Sherpa IV Zip Hoodie
Love. Comfiest IV hoodie ever.
This was a gift I purchased for my sister who is going through dialysis. She absolutely loves it she said it keeps her nice and warm. Highly recommended.
Awesome zip hoodie. Love it so much!
Loose fitting, soft and very comfortable. I love the teal color.
This hoodie is the best thing that I wish I didn't have to know existed. I was just diagnosed with AML, and a friend sent me this - the most frustrating thing about wearing a regular sweatshirt is hearing that downstream occlusion beep. When you wear this, you don't have to hear a thing! And it's so warm and cozy. I will be recommending to everyone.
Though the sleeves could be a tad bit longer, it’s excellent! Next one I order will be one size larger.
