Waterproof Cast Cover for Adult Arm - Size 1 (AA1)

Showering with a broken wrist or arm cast is easy with the DRICAST Adult Arm Size 1. This waterproof arm cast cover is designed for hand, wrist, and lower arm casts, sealing securely above the cast so water never gets in. Made from natural latex rubber right here in New Zealand, it slips on in seconds and stays in place through showers and swimming alike. 

The covers arms up to 42cm in length and 38cm in circumference, making it the go-to size for broken wrists, broken ankles of the arm, and lower arm injuries. Reusable and built to last well beyond your recovery, it is the only fully 

NZ-made waterproof cast cover on the market. DRICAST is an ACC-registered vendor, so your cover may be fully funded if your injury has an ACC claim number.

FAQs

Can I still use my fingers while wearing this?
No. The cover encloses your whole hand and cast, so fingers aren't free to move or grip while it's on. It's for keeping the cast dry, not daily use.

Will this work over a thumb spica cast?
Depends on the bulk at the wrist. If your cast wraps the thumb and changes the shape significantly, check with us first.

Can I wear a watch or bracelet on the same arm?
Not over the sealed area, since it needs a snug fit to stay watertight. Anything higher up the arm is fine.

Is this suitable for a splint rather than a hard cast?
Yes, as long as the length and circumference fall within the AA1's range.

How tight should the seal feel?
Snug against the skin, not pinching. If it leaves marks or feels too tight, a larger size may suit you better.

Use our easy-to-follow guide to find the correct DRICAST cover size and enjoy a smoother recovery.

Step 1: Measure your cast or injured area

Leg models: Measure from the heel to about 5cm past the end of the cast or dressing/bandage to allow enough area to seal to your skin.

Arm models: Measure from the fingertips to about 5cm past the end of the cast or dressing/bandage to allow enough area to seal to your skin.

For arm models that go around a bent elbow, measure the longest distance around the bend.

Measure the circumference of the cast for leg and arm models.

Measuring tip: A soft tape measure is best. If you do not have one, place a piece of string or cord around the cast and hold the area required to be measured. Carefully remove the string, then measure that length with a ruler or tape measure.

Step 2: Check the size table

Ensure you select a cover that will fit over your cast or injury, including both length and circumference.

Child covers tip: Children near puberty may need adult sizes. Choose accordingly based on measurements.
