Waterproof Cast Cover
Casts have been used for a long time to help broken bones recover. However, a cast usually has to be kept for many weeks and months which can make some of the daily tasks in our lives such as showering a pain. Usually unless you specifically ask your doctor for a waterproof cast cover, which costs extra and is not offered everywhere; it is a VERY bad idea to get your cast wet. Often it will start to stink quickly if it happens.
So what is a waterproof cast cover?
Usually it is a rubber tube that is sealed around the back of your arm or leg and protects it entirely, the extremity near its opening is then tightly sealed to your arm or leg cast to prevent any water from entering and touching it.

What is Cast Cover?
A basic overview of these cast’s is that the first one is basically a fiberglass cast that with the help of a waterproof cast liner on top of it will prevent contact with your injury while in the water. The other alternative is a waterproof cast cover which goes around your regular cast and prevents water from getting in contact with it. The cover is a cheaper solution as it only requires you to basically buy a “good looking” plastic bag that fits tightly around your arm or leg cast which makes it very easy to take care of.
While they are mainly for casts they are useful for any type of wound that you might have to protect from getting wet if you still want to mess with water. They are very useful in the shower or bath instead of the traditional plastic bag which is not very pleasing to the eyes and does not always do the greatest job. Forget swimming with just a plastic bag too, unless you enjoy risking your cast’s safety of course.

Life becomes depressing and monotonous after accidents like fractures to a person. Particularly for those who are fond of water like swimmers, sportsmen, kids etc, it is awful to remain aloof from all such water related activities for days and in some cases for months. Even by covering the broken area by a normal cover, one cannot enjoy water contact.
To give a solution to this problem, waterproof cast covers have come into the market. This type of cast cover is designed for quick and easy healing of broken bones and injuries of arms and legs. It reduces the chance of the concerned area of the body from getting exposed. The wound stays in a hygienic condition and gets dried up quickly.
What is a Waterproof Cast Cover is a kind of rubber tube basically made up of fiber glass along with a cast liner that is waterproof. It is sealed around the back of the injured arm or leg fully and the extremity near its opening is tightly sealed to restrict entering of water by any means and thus ensures quick healing. Normal cast cover tends to get wet which spreads a stinking smell all around. To avoid this one may use traditional plastic bags which again does not look so good. Thus one can rely upon waterproof cast covers which not only protect the injured place from further inflammation but also give a smart and neat look.

What makes one waterproof cast cover different from another?
The main difference is how the cover is sealed at the open end. Some are sealed strictly by pressure which can end up leading to leakage if the waterproof cast cover eventually stretches out from having to get over a rather large cast. This may be less of a problem over smaller wounds rather than casts. The kind that I found worked best was one that created a vacuum by pumping air out of the waterproof cast cover once it was on the arm.
Some of the waterproof cast covers on the market are made as a one-size-fits-all apparatus. The best kind will be the ones you have to measure. This means there will be less of a possibility that the waterproof cast cover will be too long, resulting in a flipper-like length of rubber hanging off of an arm or leg, and will fit more securely around the width of the arm or leg where it has to be sealed.
