Water and moisture can create challenges during orthopedic recovery. Whether you're showering, caught in the rain, or spending time near pools or beaches, protecting your recovery device can help improve comfort and prevent complications.
1. Keep Casts Dry
Most casts are not waterproof
Moisture trapped inside a cast can lead to skin irritation, odor, and discomfort.
2. Protect During Showers
Use waterproof protection
Many patients use specialized waterproof covers to help keep casts, braces, and bandages dry while bathing.
3. Watch for Hidden Moisture
Check straps, padding, and liners
Even small amounts of trapped moisture can create discomfort and affect recovery equipment.
4. Be Prepared Outdoors
Rain can happen unexpectedly
Keep waterproof protection available when traveling, attending events, or spending time outdoors.
5. Don't Forget Walking Boots
Moisture can affect boot liners and padding
Protecting walking boots from rain, puddles, sand, and wet conditions may help keep them cleaner and more comfortable.
Contact your orthopedic provider if a cast, brace, bandage, or walking boot becomes saturated, damaged, or causes increased discomfort.
