How to Fit the Original Cast and Bandage Protector
The Seal-Tight Cast and Bandage Protector is recommended by doctors for therapeutic care, daily showering and bathing. To use the protector properly, please follow these instructions:
- Hold plastic ring, stretching rubber diaphragm away from the wound when applying or removing the protector. Pull over the cast or bandage.
- Push plastic ring back toward cast or bandage to form a seal.
- Dry the diaphragm before removing the protector after you've done using it.
Suitable for Diabetics
It is estimated that up to 5% of the diabetes population will be suffering from active foot ulceration at any one time. This will require lengthy treatment regimes resulting in dressings being in place for long periods of time.
As dressings are strongly recommended not to become wet, patients experience a significantly reduced quality of life due to their inability to bathe or shower safely and effectively without getting their dressings wet. The Seal-Tight Protector offers the perfect solution for anyone trying to keep their bandage dry while still enjoying frequent showers or even baths.
Important Notes to Ensure Proper Use
- Suitable for single patient use only.
- Remove excess air for waterproof seal.
- Ensure watertight seal by partially submerging until all air is forced out.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Protects bandages and dressings.
- Do not trim the product.
