Dri Cast Child Leg Size 4 – XL Full Leg Waterproof Cast Cover

The Dri Cast Child Leg Size 4 is an extra-long full-leg waterproof cast cover designed specifically for longer-limbed children — those who are taller or have limb proportions that exceed standard sizing. At 75cm length and 60cm circumference, Size 4 is the largest in the Dri Cast child leg range, providing full coverage to the upper thigh and groin for children with extensive full-leg casts.

The wider circumference also accommodates larger or more heavily built children who may not achieve a correct seal with Size 3. Available from Pakuranga Pharmacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if my child needs Size 4 rather than Size 3?

A: If your child is tall for their age, has longer-than-average limbs, or if the Size 3 cover does not reach high enough above the cast to create a seal, Size 4 is likely the better choice. Measure the length of your child's leg from foot to the desired seal point and compare to the 75cm length of Size 4. Our pharmacy team can assist with sizing.

Q: Is Size 4 also suitable for adult use?

A: Size 4 is primarily designed for longer-limbed children. For adult leg cast covers, a dedicated adult-sized Dri Cast product is recommended for best fit and seal reliability. Ask our pharmacist about the appropriate adult size for your needs.

Q: Can the Size 4 be used for a hip to ankle cast?

A: The 75cm length of Size 4 provides coverage for very long leg casts in children. Whether it is sufficient for a specific hip-to-ankle cast depends on the exact cast dimensions — measure carefully and consult your orthopaedic team about the most appropriate waterproofing solution for an extensive cast.

Q: How do I store the Dri Cast cover between uses?

A: Rinse the cover with clean water after each use, allow to dry fully in a well-ventilated area, and store rolled loosely in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding sharply or exposing to direct sunlight for extended periods as this can degrade the seal material over time.
