About Our Cast and Dressing Protectors

Each protector is lightweight, reusable and designed to be put on and removed without help. The flexible seal keeps water out while remaining comfortable to wear throughout a shower. At CareCo, we stock arm, leg and foot versions to cover the most common recovery situations. Will Harrison covers what else helps when you are recovering from a broken limb in his guide to bathroom equipment for broken bones, which is worth reading alongside browsing this range.

Cast Protector FAQs

  • Can I shower normally with a cast protector on?

    Pretty much. Slip the protector over the affected area, check the seal is secure and shower as you normally would, keeping the protected limb out of direct water flow where possible. If you have any concerns about showering with your specific cast or dressing, check with your healthcare provider first.

  • Are they reusable throughout recovery?

    So long as you dry them after each use, and check the seal regularly, they can last for many uses. Replace if the seal shows signs of wear, as a failed seal mid-shower is worth avoiding.

  • What size do I need?

    We stock arm, leg and foot versions. The right one depends on where your cast or dressing is. If you are unsure, our team is happy to advise before you order.

  • Are cast protectors suitable for children?

    They suit adults and older children. For younger children, check the product dimensions against the affected limb before ordering, or contact our team for guidance.
