A Stinky Orthopedic Cast - Frequently Asked Questions

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