LimbO Waterproof Protectors Cast and Dressing Cover - Adult Half Leg (M180: 55-59 cm Above Knee Circ. (5’5-6’0))

This is an excellent cast protector which I've found to be totally effective when used in the shower. About 12 years ago I had a foot operation needing a plaster cast for 6+ weeks. At that time I didn't know about this type of protector and used plastic bags held up with rubber bands to keep the cast dry when showering. These always seemed to let water seep in somewhere and were pretty unsatisfactory all round. When I was planning for the same operation on the other foot recently I did my research and came across this protector, which I bought and have been using for a month (I also bought a bathseat). It is easy to put on and take off and has never let in even a drop of water. The plastic material is robust and I've never felt there was any danger of tearing (though I do wear an old walking sock around the cast to provide a barrier). The rubber seal at the top is perfect - it is a soft rubber which grips enough to keep the protector in place and to keep out water though remains comfortable and doesn't leave a mark afterwards. The plastic sheds water and dries quickly. All in all this has helped to make recovery less of an ordeal and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to shower while wearing a plaster cast.

My teenage daughter was involved in a serious road accident just before xmas. Her injuries include a severely broken lower right leg which pinned and plated. Due to other injuries (ankle and pelvis) she cannot bear weight on her right leg (despite the pin) for at least 6 weeks. This restricts her mobility enough to make showers awkward. We were initially advised to use try bin bags and tape to keep the cast dry. This had limited success, even if the tape does not peel away there was always some leakage, it is a fiddly process and has to be applied carefully, we would have to do that before she moved to the shower room. Bin bags and tape are cheaper but time-consuming, fiddly, prone to tearing, wasteful and ultimately far more likely to leak. On an outpatient visit we asked in the plaster room what the secret was to keeping the casts dry, and the nurse said "oh go with Limbo, they're not that expensive and if you use them right you'll have no problems." She was spot on. The limbo half-leg cover pulls on easily enough that my daughter can move to the stool in the shower and pull it on there, she can fit it on her own and trust that the seal won't let her down with a few simple checks. Just that little bit of independence is a big deal to a 16-year old that doesn't really want her parents fussing around. Limbo is relatively cheap (we paid slightly more via amazon than via direct, but it gave me prime next day delivery which was worthwhile), it is well made, unlikely to tear if treated properly. The seal is very similar to the seal of my diving drysuit, used well, no water will be getting in. It is reusable, simply peg it up someplace dry. Fantastic product.

I bought the 'LimbO Waterproof Protectors Cast and Dressing Cover - Adult Half Leg' following a foot operation. Foot is in part cast, bandaged and wearing a velcro ankle boot as can heel weight bear. This product is great for when showering. The information recommends placing a large sock over the cast/bandage/boot etc but I didn't have one large enough so used my toppers from wellington boots which did a great job - having a soft material over the boot made pulling the LimbO protector over my boot and leg much easier (but managed OK without anything over the boot as well). The neoprene seal above your knee is brilliant and really does keep your leg/dressing/cast dry, it is not too tight and doesn't leave a mark on your skin. It's very easy to remove once you've had a shower and very quick to dry. This is a fabulous product and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to keep their cast/dressings dry when showering - far better, and more durable than trying to use a carrier bag with some elastic around your leg LOL !!

Lifesaver! Made showering a breeze! Not a drop of water on the inside. One of the best post surgery purchases. Excellently constructed, very durable. Big enough to go over a large boot cast from toe to knee bend.

En mi caso, operación de pie y pierna, con 2 heridas con puntos que no podía mojar en un mes. Ya va a hacer el mes que estoy usando este protector, y no puedo más que recomendarle. Se pone de una manera fácil, la silicona se ajusta a la pierna (en mi caso por encima de la rodilla) y no entra nada de agua. Al principio me daba miedo que pudiera entrar agua, pero después viendo cómo «funcionaba» me estoy duchando con total confianza. Para quitarlo, hay que dar un par de vueltas a la silicona, y luego sale muy bien, y lo que es más importante, la pierna totalmente seca! Dudé entre otras opciones que había el doble de caras, pero ésta fue sin duda una buena elección!

I'm so happy with this cast sleeve. It goes on easy and keeps my cast dry. It's also made of good quality of materials.

Would recommend the Limbo waterproof leg cover 100% It was easy to slip over the foot and the seal at the top ensured that not one drop of moisure leaked inside. Made showering a breeze.

Funda impermeable para cubrir escayolas o vendajes. Sirve para la ducha aunque también se puede usar para un baño corto en piscina.
