Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I ensure a watertight seal with the Dri Cast cover?
A: Roll the open end of the Dri Cast cover down to create a tight seal against the skin above the cast. Ensure the seal is sitting on dry, clean skin — moisturiser or sweat can reduce the effectiveness of the seal. Test with a brief exposure before full immersion. The cover is designed to provide a reliable seal but is not guaranteed for full submersion — showering is preferable to bathing.
Q: Can my child swim with the Dri Cast cover?
A: Dri Cast covers are primarily designed for showering and bathing rather than swimming. Prolonged submersion or high water pressure (e.g. diving) may compromise the seal. Check with your orthopaedic team about swimming with a cast — many casts should not be submerged regardless of protection.
Q: How do I know which size Dri Cast cover to choose?
A: Measure the length of your child's leg from the tip of the foot to the top of the cast, and the circumference at the widest point. Size 1 (36cm length, 40cm circumference) suits smaller children with lower leg casts. If in doubt, bring your child to Pakuranga Pharmacy and our team can help with sizing.
Q: Can the Dri Cast cover be reused?
A: Yes — Dri Cast covers are designed for repeated reuse throughout the cast-wearing period. Rinse after each use and allow to dry completely before storing. Inspect the seal before each use for any signs of wear or damage that could compromise waterproofing.
