VESKIMER Arm Cast Cover for Shower Arm Adult - 100% Waterproof Cast Protector, Cast Bag, Cast Sleeve - Comfortable Watertight Protection for Broken Hands, Fingers, Wrists

After a recent run-in with the trail in the Coronado National Forest (yes, the trail won), I'll be living in a short-arm cast for the next few weeks; so I needed a way to keep my arm dry while in the shower, etc. Given the relative bargain price ($9.26 with tax and free shipping with Prime), compared to similar cast protectors, I wasn't sure what to expect from this one; however, I've been pleasantly surprised. Rest assured that this device is made of extremely durable material (which the seller describes as "surgical rubber") and that the silicone bladder/seal affords water-tight protection for your arm, as advertised (a huge improvement over the plastic bag and rubber band that I was using, with um, marginal success). Length is 21" from the silicone bladder to distal end of the hand piece (see attached picture, which was taken after it had been used, daily, for one month). I noted in other reviews that some have shared that this is "not 100% waterproof". I found that it is, if applied correctly. For me, the secret to ensuring that the cover seals properly is to place it completely over the cast and configure the silicone bladder so that the seal is a convex shape (see 1st attachment), rather than positioned in a concave configuration (see 3rd attachment), which could allow water to run into the cover. Just pull down slightly on the cover after you've pulled it over the cast and this will result in a convex "flange" around your arm and above the cast, as shown. Additionally, you can pull a sock over your cast to ensure that the fiberglass doesn't tear the rubber cover. I made a protective cover for my cast, out of a sock, which saved my clothing, furniture, steering wheel, etc. There are commercial options available for around $20 or you can sacrifice a pair of socks (or use that single sock whose mate was eaten by the dryer) and some "Fray Check". As to the comment about this being "clumsy"... (?!!!!) What can I say? You're in a cast and/or you just need a way to keep your arm dry; so yes, that's going to be inconvenient... I recommend this cover as a way to provide a water-tight seal of the affected area! Update 3/13/20: Initially, I ordered this cast protector because of it's low price (as previously noted). While I found it to be a well-made and effective product, I suggest that potential buyers shop around given the fact that the price has nearly doubled (from $8.98 to $16.98 in less than six weeks) since I purchased it in early February 2020. A quick review finds that there are less expensive alternatives of similar design out there.

My daughter had wrist surgery and a friend recommended this product to keep her bandages dry while bathing. It worked absolutely perfect and she has a tiny arm. It was very stretchy and easy to use which helped get it over her bandages easily without causing her additional pain. It was 100% waterproof. She said it was comfortable while bathing.

Arm cast cover worked well did what was expected

I bought this after having carpal tunnel surgery and having my hand/wrist bandaged for 2 weeks. Works as stated. It is a bit hard to get on by myself trying to get it to fit over my surgical wrappings without causing a good bit of pain and once on, it is extremely tight around the top of the arm where it seals out the water. With all that being said, I will continue to use it because I was able to shower and keep my surgical bandages 100% dry and will use it again when I have my other hand operated on in a few weeks.

This is my fourth surgery! The first three I had to use 2 disposable bags tied tightly in a knot then taped so that no water would get in. And it still got in! It was quite a process and very time consuming. This product is GREAT!!!!! It takes seconds to put on and you're good to go. Very durable, No water leaks ever! And, it is large enough that you can move your hand around freely without feeling trapped. When washing, the plastic is extremely soft and feels good on your skin. It takes seconds to remove and dries quickly. One thing though, it does become snug after a 20 to 30 min. shower. (see pic) But, this is meant to be put on your lower arm and I'm small so I had to push it up on my bicep which made it tighter (but it was still a comfortable fit). Even with snugness, this product far outweighs the hassle when attempting to keep it dry another way. You actually forget you have it on and can do everything you need to! I highly recommend this quality product!!

I broke my right wrist and arm, falling down a mountain trail while hiking. The cast cannot get wet, and the doc anticipated 12 weeks with it on. I am very frugal, so thought of plastic garbage bags to enclose my arm while showering, or wrapping the cast in saran wrap. Both kind of difficult to get onto my right arm cast, with my left hand! I saw this cast protector online, and thought "okay, I'll give it a try but it will probably leak or be impossible to get on by myself!" Nope. It slides right on easily over my cast and it does not leak. It is amazing. Best $14 I ever spent! The seal at the top of your arm is tight (very tight) and in the 5 weeks that I've been using it - no leaks. It's flexible, easy to hold the grab bar or shampoo bottle thru the thick plastic and every single time, my arm and cast come out of it nice and dry. Much easier than wrapping it anew each time with sticky plastic wrap or garbage bags & duct tape. If you have a cast, or a limb, you need to keep dry, this is a great product.

Bought for my husbands carpal tunnel surgery. Very beneficial he said they were durable and good. He really liked them. Kept his bandages dry.

I already had plans to go to Playa del Carmen and worried I’d be stuck on the sidelines when I was told I couldn’t get my cast wet. I had been using trash bags and hair ties to shower with my cast, but some water/moisture got in even then. This device was a total game changer. Not only has my cast stayed dry in the shower, in Mexico, I could get in the water and submerge the sleeve fully in chlorinated and salt water. I didn’t try any real swimming strokes because I feared the pressure/speed might get things wet, but I was able to snorkel on multiple occasions without worry water would get in. I used the sleeve to paddle lightly and tread water floating in waves. I was able to have essentially the same vacation as those without a cast. Yes, it looks a little funny, but you’ll get past the stares. One woman even asked me how I found the sleeve because she was told she couldn’t go in the water because she had some kind of skin irritation. This is extremely water tight. The only times I feared was when it was higher on my elbow rather than lower on my forearm, allowing a small air hole. But even then I think more air got out rather than water get in. There was one time where my cast got a bit wet around my forearm. That was in a seaside pool in which waves literally crashes in on you. But you can hold your sleeve in the air to avoid any risk in those situations. And even then, it held up against literal waves for the most part. Pay the $15 and keep your vacation, or just make showering so much easier. The sleeve really is the best $15 I’ve ever spent.

it worked excellent wore in swimming pool went snorkelling i rate it a 5!!! never leaked it looked loke it did at first but it was soo humid where we were it was just from that.. my cast stayed dry entire time!!!

Made my life much easier when I had 2 broken fingers in a splint for 6 weeks and couldn't wet them! It is very long but water never got in. Much nice than a plastic bag and sticky tape

Works perfect..

As exactly described

Works perfectly but VERY large I should have ordered a size down so measure carefully
