CastCooler: a Breakthrough in Cast Care!

Orthopedic Cast Itch - Frequently Asked Questions

Wearing an orthopedic cast has long been associated with cast itch. Cast itch is unpleasant at best and cast itch can be objectionable. Cast itch is caused by the bacterium that is growing in the lining of your cast. While cast itch is difficult to eliminate, cast itch does not need to be tolerated.
What Causes Cast itch
This moist lining is a primary cause of cast itch, as that moisture causes rapid and continued growth of bacteria. The CastCooler may be used to reduce cast itch by eliminating the moisture in the lining of your cast, the primary cause of cast itch. Use the CastCooler daily or whenever necessary to significantly reduce cast itch.
What Can be Done About Cast itch
Assuming your cast has a typically cotton or synthetic lining (as opposed to a washable cast lining), you should attempt to keep you cast and lining dry at all times. This is an effective means of eliminating cast itch. If the cast lining becomes wet, cast itch will increase. The CastCooler can be used as needed to reduce cast itch by removing the moisture from the lining of the cast. The CastCooler removes the moisture from the lining of your cast. Without moisture, bacteria growth is reduced as well as cast itch. You should not attempt to reduce cast itch by applying treatments to the cast, the lining or the skin.
What Should I do if Cast itch Persists
If cast itch is acute, see your doctor. You may have an infection or a skin condition known as maceration. Skin maceration occurs when the skin is continually wet or moist. One sign of skin infection or skin maceration can be acute cast itch. Both of these conditions can be serious and if you experience acute cast itch, you should contact your doctor immediately.
