How Does a Waterproof Cast Protector Work?
Waterproof cast protectors are usually a kind of large bag that fits over your cast, where a zip or seal will then prevent water from entering coming into contact with the cast. Not only can they make showering easier, larger models allow you to take baths, too. In this guide, we'll go over the fantastic LimbO Cast Protector Range, which is loved by our customers, and help find the right model for you.
Why Choose LimbO Cast Protectors?
Our customers love LimbO Waterproof Cast Protectors and we'll outline some reviews below, but we think they're fantastic for a few other reasons:

- Available in a number of models to fit different parts of the body
- Available in child sizes for smaller casts
- Suitable for both casts and dressings
- Latex- and adhesive-free design is kind to your skin
- Tough, reinforced mesh build helps to stop tears and leaks
