Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is Size 2 different from Size 1?

A: Size 2 is longer (46cm vs 36cm) and slightly wider (42cm vs 40cm circumference), making it suitable for casts that extend to or above the knee. Size 1 is designed for lower leg and ankle casts only. Choose based on where the top of the cast sits on your child's leg.

Q: Is the Dri Cast cover safe for children to use independently?

A: Older children may manage the Dri Cast cover independently with practice. For younger children, parental assistance is recommended to ensure a correct seal is achieved before showering. Always supervise young children during bathing regardless of cast protection.

Q: What if the Dri Cast cover leaks?

A: If water gets inside the cover and the cast becomes wet, do not ignore it. A wet cast can cause skin problems and structural failure of the cast. Contact your orthopaedic team or hospital for advice on drying or replacing a wet cast. Bring the cover to our pharmacy — we can check whether the seal is functioning correctly.

Q: How long does a Dri Cast cover last?

A: With proper care and regular inspection, a Dri Cast cover typically lasts for the duration of a single cast-wearing period (4–8 weeks). If the seal shows wear, cracking or loss of elasticity, replace the cover. Ask our pharmacy team about replacement options.
