Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I get a watertight seal with Dri Cast Child Arm Size 1?
A: Roll the open end of the cover firmly down onto the forearm skin above the cast. The seal must sit on dry, bare skin — no clothing underneath the seal point. Check the seal is snug before water exposure. For younger children with slender arms, ask our pharmacist for fitting advice.
Q: Can my child shower independently with this cast cover?
A: For most young children, parental supervision and assistance is recommended when applying and removing the Dri Cast cover, and during showering. Older children may manage independently with practice once they understand the correct sealing technique.
Q: How do I select the right Dri Cast arm size?
A: Measure the length of the arm from the fingertips to where you want the seal to sit, and the circumference at the widest point. Size 1 suits arms up to 30cm length and 32cm circumference. Our pharmacy team can assist with sizing if you bring your child in.
Q: What if water gets inside the cast despite using the cover?
A: If a cast becomes wet, contact your orthopaedic team or hospital immediately — do not wait for it to dry on its own. A wet plaster cast can soften and fail, and skin complications can occur. Bring the Dri Cast cover to our pharmacy so we can check the seal integrity.
