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 can’t 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.

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.

Waterproof Cast Cover and Wound Care Bandage Cover
	1. 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
