DryCorp Waterproof Vacuum Sealed Half Leg Cast Cover, Blue Small

Customer Reviews

Well Worth the MoneyAfter problems using plastic bags and special tape (soaked one cast and got a second one damp), I tried this product. So glad I did! Given the cost of replacing a cast, this was a very affordable purchase.I only use mine for showering. It's a strong, thick latex rubber and I can't imagine trying to get it on by myself. My husband stretches it over my cast, and even though he regularly works with his hands, he said it's still a workout. Once you suck out all of the air, it's easy to see that the seal is still intact throughout use -- if air can't get in, neither can water. It's tight, but not uncomfortable. After my shower, I fold it over a hanger and let it dry.Observations & Recommendations:Good for showers.Might be okay in a pool or spa, but I wouldn't risk it. You can only leave it on for 45 minutes anyway, and that might be pushing it because it's very tight (and it's supposed to be).Photos show someone surfing -- ridiculous! There's no way I would want this in sand & saltwater. Besides, rubbing it against a surfboard (and even the force of the surf itself) would cause the seal to break away from the skin and open it up to the water. Don't do it. 5Kept my foot dry in the oceanI took this in the ocean on a paddle board while wearing my boot and stayed dry. I could feel the seal give a little if I tried to move through the water too quickly in a direction that forced water into the seal, but considering I logged several hours in the water over the course of a week and my boot stayed dry I have no complaints. I'd recommend to the manufacturer making the bottom of the cover flat with a heavier surface (or another product) which would allow you to walk around with it. I'm 6'1" 230 lbs and was able to get this over a walking boot and did not feel it cut off circulation. 5Concept is genius, quality is notWe love the concept of this boot. It's the durability that brings down the rating. When new, the boot kept my husband's foot dry during showers and swimming, but after only 3 or 4 uses it developed a hole on top of the foot area, so not from friction. Returned and replaced with no hassles. Very pleased as sometimes things just happen. New boot arrived, things worked well for a handful of times then the material around the valve began to disintegrate, leaving the boot full of water and the foot soaked. As wonderful as the concept is, the quality of the materials used doesn't live up to expectations. 1Life Changing!!!This product is unbelievable. Drug store models are a complete waste of time and money. I bought this for my dad for Father's Day. My dad was in the process of losing weight and injured his leg. A hematoma led to wound that is still in the healing process due to also being diabetic. He cannot exercise and again is at 350+ in weight. Swimming works for him and he really enjoys it. He has a pool at his home but has been unable to use it due to wound. What seems like a simple little apparatus has moved mountain in my book. The fact that my dad can do something besides sit in s chair and can actually do something he loves is priceless. This thing has brought him back to life. His wound Dr has also asked him to bring the product to his next appt as she is very interested in it for other patients and for herself (she actually has a wound on fee leg too). I honestly thought this was going to be another fail especially because of his size and the low cost but I was completely wrong. This product is priceless considering the physical and emotional benefits it has had for my dad! Thank you so much for this product!!!! 5Vacation Saver!! Really works EXCELLENT!!!!! Don't hesitate to buy this!!This literally saved our vacation!!! We bought this on a whim just hoping for the best and I can say this did everything it was supposed to and more!!! I would recommend this to anyone who has broken something and wants to swim. My husband broke his foot a month before we were going to Punta Cana with our daughter and some friends. We were so bummed and almost canceled the trip. My husband then decided to make the best of it so we got a knee scooter which was so much better than crutches and that worked well to get around the huge resort. Then we thought about swimming and I googled cast covers and this came up. Watched a video on it and we thought what the heck. Worth a shot and it was very inexpensive. He used this in the pool and in the ocean!! It worked wonderfully and kept his cast clean and dry the whole week. He used it every day!! Best thing we did was get this!! Please see pic of him in the pool with this on! Can't say enough good things about this product!! : ) 5This is a great product when used with common sense and instructionsPeople - you need to leave at least 4" or more of the top of the boot to adhere to the top of your leg/skin. It's not going to work unless it can create a suction-tight seal to prevent the water from seeping down into your ankle/foot.I found this product to work perfectly. Before I trimmed it, I made sure it had at least that much extra at the top. I tried it on my other foot first. I then put my foot in that had the surgery, pumped the air out of it using their built-in squeeze bulb and showered. Perfectly dry afterwards. Yesterday, I went in the swimming pool for 45-minutes per the boot instructions. This is to keep you from sustaining any vascular damage. Again, my affected leg and foot was dry. I do not have a cast - just a very large wound that was stitched, bandaged, and wrapped. I didn't kick or splash - I wouldn't recommend that. Just consider it enough relief to be able to get in with your friends. 5Saved Our Vacation!Our son broke his foot at summer camp, three weeks before we went to the Caribbean. We went on vacation, wheelchair and all! This saved our trip! I wrapped the cast with an ace bandage (to avoid sharp edges from where he has worn out the cast due to crawling), and then put the boot on and sucked the air out. He was able to swim in the pool and our resort had one of those sand beach chairs so he could get in and out of the ocean. He missed the smaller version by a half inch, so we went with the adult. There was a lot of room in there, but it was ok for him. After about three weeks of use, the area by the white nozzle began to wear a little and some dampness would come in, but had he not crawled in it, it probably could have been avoided. He probably used it at least 25 times before it started to wear down. 5If you have a boot - buy this!I broke my foot six days before our family beach vacation. I was put in the walking boot / aircast and would not be able to get in the sand / water, etc. I purchased this (large 1/2 leg) and it worked perfectly!! I wore it 6-9 hours per day for 8 days in a row and it was still going strong, no tears or rips or holes and it kept my boot completely sand and water free. I was very careful when putting on and taking off the cover, but with some mindfulness, I had no issues with tearing or anything. It was a complete savior for the vacation. You can completely submerge with no issues as well. I highly recommend this product! 5Concept is cool, but super hard to stretch over a cast ...Concept is cool, but super hard to stretch over a cast by yourself. The air comes out well but there's no way I could use this in a pool and actually swim. Maybe to just sit there. Using it for the shower my husband can't stretch it and pull over foot and ankle easily at all. I thought that would be good bc it meant good suction but that's not the case. When we squeezed all the air out he said it put a ton of pressure on the wound and was painful. The top of his cast got wet every time we used it. Wish we had a better experience as we were very excited for it. 1Kid tested, Mother extremely happy. Here are some tips.I read most of the reviews, some negatives spoke about this getting holes, easy to tear and such. So with all the information I gathered from the reviews I ordered and gave it a try. We were leaving for a beach vacation with cousins and dreaded the idea that my 9 year old son would miss out on most of the fun and games. Here are our facts. C (my son) broke his toe and is in a boot up to below the knee for 2-3 weeks. Most reviews were for use over a cast, as are most of the products I found.This one looked like it might fit over a boot and it did!First I took a pillow case and covered the boot. This was to protect the cover from any parts of his boot that might cause tears. Just kinda folded the extra material around the boot so it was flat around. I took waterproof medical tape and wrapped it around the calf part to keep the pillow case in place for when we put the protector on. Muscle was needed to stretch it over the boot. It is made of a rubber material that is somewhat thick. I did NOT try to PULL on like a sock. We gathered it up as much as we could to keep the cover from sliding over parts of the boot that might cause a tear.This next step was added after some trial and error: the tight opening is the only tight part of the entire cover (until you pump the air out) My son is 9 so it could have been tighter but that would have made it impossible to get it over the boot. Our fist day it didn't seal well and it allowed water in.This is the part we added. I used waterproof medical tape and help create a better seal by tapping the top of the cover to his skin. I did this 2 times around his calf. Then used the pump part to squeeze out the rest of the air. I kept the pump handy throughout the day to give it a few pumps to keep the seal in place. My son was able to body surf at the beach!! He walked the better part of one day around a water park without any damage to the sole. It has a rougher surface on the bottom to add some traction. We took care and took it off at the water park once the day was done so he was not walking around the parking lot with it. This cover SAVED our vacation!!!!! He was able to do everything (Beach, pool & waterpark) I would highly recommend this, just use some common sense in preventing tears and waterproof medical tape to assist with the opening and its ability to "seal". I don't know what we would have done without this!!! Thank you DryPro for saving C's vacation. 5
