What
the CastCooler® does
The
CastCooler® keeps your cast fresh and
reduces itch by removing moisture
from the lining under your cast.
Simply wrap the CastCooler® around
your cast daily, and connect a
standard household vacuum. After 10
minutes, moisture is removed.
Without moisture, bacteria growth
(the cause of odor and itch) is
reduced. Your cast stays fresh!
How
does CastCooler® work?
CastCooler® creates a gentle vacuum
on the outside of your cast,
bringing fresh air between your skin
and the cast. Air flow is directed
through the lining of your
breathable orthopedic cast removing
moisture and cooling your skin.
Without touching your skin,
bacteria, itch and odor are
significantly reduced. Your cast
stays fresh.
Do I
need a special vacuum?
The
CastCooler® may be used with a common
household vacuum and hose attachment
(not supplied).
Will
the CastCooler® work with my cast?
The
CastCooler® works with all breathable
orthopedic cast no matter size or
limb, one size fits all! Use the CastCooler® as often as you like, it
cannot be overused. Whenever your
cast is moist, hot or stinky...use
it.
What
makes my cast itch and smell?
Your
cast itches and has a foul odor
because of the bacteria which is
growing in the continually-moist
lining beneath your cast. This
moisture is most commonly due to
perspiration trapped in the cast
lining but may also result from
bathing or normal outdoor
activities. The CastCooler® will dry
a cast which becomes wet from
bathing, damp from perspiration or
humidity, an encounter with the lawn
sprinkler or other summertime
activities.
