Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is it safe for a child in a full-leg cast to shower standing up?

A: Showering with a full-leg cast requires extra care to ensure the child's safety and balance. Always have an adult supervise, use a shower chair or stool if available, and ensure the shower floor has a non-slip mat. Check with your orthopaedic team whether standing or sitting showers are more appropriate for your child's specific cast type.

Q: Can the Size 3 cover be used for a hip spica cast?

A: Size 3 is designed for full-leg casts to the upper thigh. For hip spica casts (which encircle the waist and one or both legs), a specialised cover is required. Consult your orthopaedic team or our pharmacist about appropriate waterproof protection for hip spica casts.

Q: How do I seal the Dri Cast Size 3 correctly at the thigh?

A: Roll the open end of the cover down firmly against the upper thigh skin to create a seal. The seal should sit on dry, bare skin — clothing underneath can prevent a proper seal. Check the seal is snug before water exposure. For children with very slender thighs, the seal may need additional adjustment — ask our pharmacist for advice.

Q: Where can I get a replacement if the Size 3 cover is damaged?

A: Replacement Dri Cast covers are available from Pakuranga Pharmacy. If your cover is damaged or the seal has deteriorated, replace it promptly to avoid cast damage during bathing. Our team can advise on the correct replacement size.
