Patients and mobility sufferers of all ages struggle to maintain their personal hygiene when wearing a cast after a broken bone or muscle injury.
Wearing a cast is not much fun at the best of times, and it is made even more uncomfortable by not being able to shower or wash properly whilst wearing a protective cast or sling.
Nevertheless, many customers now look to a waterproof cast to overcome this problem.
Cast protectors allow you to encase the cast and allow them to wash your body in a normal manor.
Waterproof cast protectors are designed to be strong and durable, whilst ensuring that wearing your cast is more bearable on a day-to-day basis.
It is possible to buy these cast protectors to cover legs, arms, hands and ankles to ensure that your mobility is maintained in a comfortable, protective fashion.
They simply slip over the cast or dressing on either the lower leg or arm to protect them when taking a bath or shower.
The cast protects are re-usable and are intended for single patient use only.
As it is re-usable this is also a cost-effective preventative for current and potential injuries now and in the future.
Customers should however note that a waterproof cast is not suitable for use with open or undressed wounds or when swimming.
