Size & Care Guide
Order with Confidence:
With Dricast, you can shower, bathe, or swim worry-free. Use our easy-to-follow guide to find the perfect size and enjoy a smoother recovery.
Step 1: Measure your Cast or injured area
· Measure from the heel (leg models) or finger tips (arm models) to about 50mm above the end of the cast or dressing/bandage (to allow enough area to seal to your skin).
· For arm models going around a bent elbow – measure the longest distance around the bend.
Step 2: Measure the seal.
· Measure the circumference around your limb about 50mm above your cast/dressing
Step 3: Check the Size Table below to select your Dricast cover.
· Ensure you select a cover that will fit over your cast or injury – length and circumference wise.
· Ensure where it will seal to your skin will not be too loose (note: they are very stretchy and designed to be watertight)
*Child Covers Tip:
Children near puberty may need adult lengths but smaller circumferences. Choose accordingly based on measurements.

Fitting Your Dricast Cover:
- Lightly dust the inside of the cover with talcum powder (first use only).
- Fold the top half down over the bottom half.
- Roll the opening over a couple of times to prevent tearing.
- Carefully place your cast into the cover at the fold.
- Pull the top half of the cover up over the cast.
- Smooth the seal tightly to the skin (2 cm above the cast) to prevent leaks.
- For swimming: Place a finger between the seal and skin when entering the water to release air, then remove the finger.
