Spica Cast Odor- Frequently Asked Questions

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