CastCooler: a Breakthrough in Cast Care!

Orthopedic Cast Smell - Frequently Asked Questions

Wearing an orthopedic cast has long been associated with cast smell. Cast smell is unpleasant at best and cast smell can be objectionable. Cast smell is caused by the bacterium that is growing in the lining of your cast. While cast smell is difficult to eliminate, cast smell does not need to be tolerated.
What Causes Cast smell
This moist lining is a primary cause of cast smell, as that moisture causes rapid and continued growth of bacteria. The CastCooler may be used to reduce cast smell by eliminating the moisture in the lining of your cast, the primary cause of cast smell. Use the CastCooler daily or whenever necessary to significantly reduce cast smell.
What Can be Done About Cast smell
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 smell. If the cast lining becomes wet, cast smell will increase. The CastCooler can be used as needed to reduce cast smell 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 smell. You should not attempt to reduce cast smell by applying treatments to the cast, the lining or the skin.
What Should I do if Cast smell Persists
If cast smell 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 smell. Both of these conditions can be serious and if you experience acute cast smell, you should contact your doctor immediately.

Testimonial

"The CastCooler is for my 4 year old son. We live in Florida so the humidity is always high. We got the product on Saturday (which was very fast) and he loves it. It is really easy to use. ... It was really dirty after the first use, which makes me feel better, because all that dirt was in his cast. And he says it tickles and feels cool. I am glad I bought it. After he is outside playing, he asks to use it. And he doesn't complain about the itching anymore!!! It was breaking my heart that I couldn't relieve his pain/discomfort. This product is a great idea. I am definitely telling his doctor, and anyone with a cast on about it!!!"Veronica - mom, Palm Bay, FL
