Thanks for posting this. While I was taking care of other things, my wife took my son to get an urgent care splint changed to a cast. Later, when I talked with him about it, he insisted that he could swim with it and I insisted he couldn't. He then pulled out the pamphlet he was given and showed me and sure enough the cast is "waterproof". I looked to see if there is anyone who posted something to verify and came across this video. Sooooo...I guess we'll give it a go and see how it works!
I currently have one, and the cast tech also used cotton padding which retains a massive amount of water. He’s done just the opposite of what the cast should.
Gosh, if they used cotton, it doesn’t sound like it is a waterproof cast. Not a doctor but never heard that. Anyway, I hope you heal fast. See my other videos for tips and hacks on living with a cast.
Will be interesting to see who they apply the cast and what materials they use for the cast. I advise my patients do not use hot settings while drying the cast with the hairdryer because the heat can deteriorate the materials and cause skin burns.
Same as a traditional fiberglass cast only they use Delta-dry padding instead of stockinette. You can search Delta-dry for a video. For privacy reasons I don’t want to post a video of my doctor without his permission.
No worries it will clean off when you get it off. Take a wash rag and gently clean. The skin will be a little tender. Watch my other videos for tips I’ve learned.

Definitely not hot, but warm or cool setting okay.
@@larsen6474 Can you make a video when they are applying the cast?

@@larsen6474 Clever answer mate. You apply a good cast in yourself.
??? Dr put this on. Not sure what you mean.
Thank you
Make sure you watch all my videos on tips I’ve learned. Hope you heal soon.
Still scared to wet mine lol
If you have a waterproof lining it is okay. It will air dry or you can use a blow dryer on a cool setting. It actually feels good and relieving.
@@larsen6474 Thank you. Gonna shower nos haha. Broke my wrist and have a river trip in a week so needed the waterproof
After a river trip I’d definitely rinse well afterwards. Have a great trip and glad the injury didn’t slow you down.
I have one right now and have so much dead skin in it
