CastCooler: a Breakthrough in Cast Care!

Orthopedic Cast Stink - Frequently Asked Questions

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