CAST COVER INVENTION 2 .
SPECIFICATIONS
This invention relates to a protective cover for plaster or fibreglass casts, bandages, or exposed body parts of an injured or disabled person which will seal the body or body part(s) from moisture, debris, and/or light, and/or any other element.
Moisture to casts and bandages can come from bathing, showering, swimmlng, and natural weather when unprotected or covered crudely with plastic bags and tape. By becoming wet, casts rapidly disintegrate, ruining their structural lntegrity which is vital to the proper healing of fractured bones. Wet bandages can invite bacteria and infection to the affected body part.
I have found that these disadvantages may be overcome with use of the CAST COVER. Use of this device would reduce the replacement of casts and bandages, lowering medical costs, reducing environmental waste, and most importantly malntaining the health, hyglene and well-being of the ln~ured or disabled person. The CAST COVER would allow more freedom for it's user to stay clean and protected.
Thls device may be distributed from hospitals and clinics after applicatlon of a cast or bandage, or sold from stores to~the~individua} for homej recreation, or work use. It may also be used by health care proféssionals on location in proper body maintenance of the patient. Further, it may be used for~protectlon by burn victims, people with skin conditlons, or any other case necessitating protection from ~ the elements. These are a few but not necessarily the only ; ~applications for this invention.
The~CAST COVER is to be~constructed of substances at the ~ -discretion of the manufacturer.
These include: Plastic, latex, rubber, or other man-made or organlc substances or combination of the aforementioned that can keep out moisture and debris while allowing movement and , easy application. The sealing device will create a water-tlght seal around the skin of the user above and/or below the afected area utilizing an elastic seal with a velcro ~fastener that has a base which will stop molsture penetratlon, and can ad~ust to the particular slze range.
The length of the CAST COVER would be proportional to each slze and application, but could be produced with extra Iength since this would have no effect on the seal, and would ensure complete coverage. - -~
