Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector Never has such a simple product changed the quality of life for so many people. If you have a cast, wound care bandage, limb prosthesis, PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) or IV line that is keeping you from bathing or swimming worry no longer, your problem has been solved by DryPro. You can now have waterproof protection with confidence. Dry Pro is made of surgical latex material and features a series of products to cover casts, wound bandages, prostheses, PICCs and will soon have a cover for ostomy stomas. The cast/wound care protectors completely cover the hand or foot to above the cast, bandage area or prosthesis. The PICC product covers from mid arm, over the elbow, to mid bicep. The prosthesis covers the complete leg prosthesis much like the cast protector but is made of a different material and color . Dry Pro offers the only leg and arm cast protection in the world with the patented vacuum seal to keep your bandage, cast or prosthesis dry. They are so completely and totally waterproof, between the waterproof latex and the vacuum seal, that you can even dive off a diving board or ride the ocean waves and still have your cast stay completely dry. Features and Benefits of the DryPro cast protector: The Dry Pro is easy to use. Slide the Dry Pro over the appendage and pump the air out by squeezing the built in pump until the bulb is flattened. Remove bulb and quickly cap the stem. The patient can go swimming, bathe, shower or receive hydrotherapy while wearing the sleeve. You can even dive off a diving board or ride the ocean waves. The protector cannot slip off! In fact it cant even be pulled off when in the deflated state. The Dry Pro is made of thick surgical latex that can stretch up to 600 percent without tearing. This durable product is comfortable and flexible and also features a Non-Skid Grid on the sole of the leg protector to prevent slipping. Dry Pro, with the patented vacuum seal and Non-Skid Grid, offers the safest and most effective product on the market. Other cast cover products do not offer the same waterproof guarantee as the Dry Pro. The Dry Pro is available in a variety of sizes designed to fit children as young as two years of age up to adults as tall as 6' 6". The product is economical and priced comparably to other less durable products on the market. Repeated leak-proof testing proves the reliability of the Dry Pro as the only truly waterproof protector. When applying the Dry Pro, the built-in pump flattens to indicate that the seal is intact and will not leak. The Dry Pro offers prostheses wearers an alternative to removing the prosthesis during water activities. The Dry Pro carries a one year guarantee. The Dry Pro line contains LATEX. Anyone with latex allergies should not use this product. DryPro Waterproof Cast Cover Measurements 1 - Measure for the length of the protector ARM: Measure from the tip of the middle finger to the top end of the cast or prosthetic. (If the cast goes above the elbow, follow the bend of the arm to the top of the cast.) ADD 2 inches to your measurement to obtain the minimum protector length. If adding 2 places the measurement near the bend of the elbow, then measure to the mid bicep and use this final measurement. The protector will not seal properly if the end of the opening is at the elbow. LEG: Measure from the back of the heel (from the floor) to the top end of the cast or prosthesis. ADD 2 inches to your measurement to obtain the minimum protector length. If adding 2 places the measurement near the bend of the knee, then measure to the mid thigh and use this final measurement. The protector will not seal properly if the end of the opening is at the knee. Make sure to choose a Dry Pro length that will end up at least 2 inches above your cast but not stop at the bend of the elbow or knee.Don't worry if the Dry Pro cover you need to choose is too long. The excess material of the cover will flatten down when the air is pumped out. 2 - Measure for the opening size of the protector ARM: Measure the circumference of the arm just above the cast or bandage. If you had to use a mid bicep measurement for length, then measure the circumference at mid bicep. LEG: Measure the circumference of the leg just above the cast or bandage. If you had to use a mid thigh measurement for length, then measure the circumference at mid thigh. Choose a Dry Pro cover that is at least 1 inch Smaller than your circumference measurement. Dry Pro arm and leg covers are designed to fit snugly, especially the opening at the end of the cover where the covers must remain sealed. To create a good vacuum seal the opening for your specific cast cover needs to be smaller than your limb.

Slide on Dry Pro - Stretch on the Dry Pro waterproof bandage cover so that it completely covers the cast or bandage plus an additional inch. The top should be smooth against the skin. Be careful of sharp objects. A fingernail, sharp fiberglass threads on a cast, can rip the Dry Pro cast and bandage protector. Putting a soft ace bandage or a tube sock with the toe cut out over the fiberglass cast will help reduce sharp fiberglass threads from cutting into the Dry Pro waterproof bandage cover. 2. Pump out the air - Continue to press the bulb until it remains flat and the Dry Pro waterproof clothing is completely wrinkled. Remove the pump and push on the safety cap. Observe the Dry Pro waterproof cast and bandage cover for a few minutes before going in the water. As long as the DryPro waterproof clothing stays collapsed and wrinkled, the vacuum is intact and the Dry Pro bandage protector cannot leak or come off. 3. Slide off - When you are done using the Dry Pro waterproof clothing, simply lift up the cuff to let the air back in. The Dry Pro waterproof bandage cover should now be loose. Simply slide it back off. Note - Do not leave on for extended periods of time. We recommend removing it after every 45 minutes of use. Do not use in vascular compromised patients. Steady yourself in wet slippery areas. The Dry Pro cast and bandage protector contains natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions. Always follow your doctor's advice. Due to often short recovery times & hygienic reasons the Dry Pro Waterproof Cast Protector is non-returnable Click here to see the Dry Pro PICC Cover Click here to see the Dry Pro Leg Prosthesis Cover

After my son both fractured and lacerated his big toe, it was imperative that his foot not get wet. This product not only delivered in terms of keeping his cast dry but it also held up under use by a very active 4 year-old little boy. It made bathing so much easier and swimming possible. It saved the summer for us.

We're on a 2 week vacation at the ocean. When we bought it we were very hesitant about using the protector. My son broke his elbow and has pins in the bones, so it's very important that we don't get his cast wet. But the first time we used this product it worked great. We've been using it for 10 days now and everyday it seals great and we've had no water on his cast. Thank you for making our vacation fun this year!

I bought the Dry Pro Waterproof Cast cover for my wife after she broke her leg. She was able to go into the pool, bath and even the jacuzie without getting her cast wet. My son had broke his wrist two months before and we used bags, surran wrap and even a rubber dishwashing glove. Thank god we found the Dry Pro, it's so much better and easier to use.Thanks,[@]

My daughter broke her arm in July. Since we spend our summers swimming, we were all worried about the effect this would have on her summer. This cover kept the cast dry while diving, swimming underwater and while bathing too. A great product, easy to use, heavy duty (withstanding a cast banging on poolside concrete and granite).

My 6yr old broke his arm fathers day weekend so we thought this would be the answer to all our summer plans that had be haulted. Not so the arm opening was so tight it wouldn't fit over his splint, after a couple of weeks he got a normal plaster cast and it went over it fine but the valve did not stay on so water leaked into it and it doesn't stay tight against the skin at the forearm when bending the arm.

Maybe this one was just defective but I doubt it.

I ordered the cover for my son when he broke his leg. The product would not maintain a seal. [...] We tried for an hour to get all the air out and as soon as he would move the seal would allow air in all over again. We measured properly and it seemed to fit fine until he moved. The cover is simply designed to fit like a glove so there is nothing except a tight fit to ensure no air/water enters. Good luck.

This think has kept my boy from complete meltdown. He's able to go to summer camp and swim with the kids, take easy showers, even go to the waterpark. My only complaint is that the device is far wider around the diameter of his arm and hand than it needs to be, but it hasn't slowed down his use of it.

The Dry Pro cast protector gave my daughter her summer back! My very, very active 11 year old daughter broke her femur along the growth plate at the beginning of the summer. Her leg was put in a full length leg cast which meant no swimming. Not being able to swim in the summer here in Texas is complete torture! She even went two weeks without a shower because she couldn't handle the hassle that happened when trying to keep her cast dry. Because my daughter was so miserable, I took the chance and ordered the Dry Pro without any prior knowledge of it figuring I had nothing to lose but 30 something dollars. It was the best chance I have every taken!! You could see the life coming back into my daughter's face the first time she used it. We were at a pool party and she had the best time of her life. The freedom she felt away from the cast showed so brightly in her face. She just beamed! The Dry Pro cast protector has giving my daughter some summer fun that wouldn't have been possible with anything else. It works perfectly and is so easy! We have had nothing but great results with it. People have been amazed by it when they see her swimming. Dry Pro cast protector made my daughter smile again and for me that is "PRICELESS"! I will always recommend it to anyone I see with a cast on. I can't wait to tell our orthopedic doctor about it.

Thanks again for such a wonderful product! Your product made a very depressing time in my daughter's life a little brighter.

We bought this for our son after he broke his arm, just above the elbow. Unfortunately, his cast was so big at the elbow, and the sleeve so tight at the top, we couldn't use it for a while. Keep in mind that the sleeve should only be worn for 45 minutes at a time.

I have been able to shower without fear of getting my cast wet. The greatest thing about it is that I did not have to cancel my family vacation to the coast, and I was able to enjoy the water with everyone else. My tan lines will be a little messed up, but it was still worth it all to be able to sit on the beach with my family and enjoy the waves and sand. Thank You Carla Marshall RN WCC

I used it on a my daughters arm when we whet to a water park. It was terrific. The only problem I had was that her arm was too skinning to make the seal, so I had to put tape on the top but it still kept the cast dry and it was much easier then wrapping it in a towel and a plastic bag.

We ordered tnis item for our daughter. She is 8 yrs old and had her arm broke at school. We have a pool and it was going to be a long summer if we didn't come up with something so she could swim. We looked on line saw this item and thought it was worth a try....It is awesome!!!! She can still swim like a fish and her cast has stayed completely dry!!! It has been a life saver.

It couldn't get any easier than this! Showers & swimming are a breeze with this product. The cast is 100% dry when the protcetor is removed. I even gave the name of the product to his orthopaedic surgeon who said he was suggesting it to other patients! My husband & I thank you!

This Dry Pro is amazing! My son had a broken arm but wanted to swim. I bought this being a little weary that it would actually work and get the cast wet but I was totally off. This kept the cast and the arm completely dry. I would recommended this product to anyone.
