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:

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