Choosing a Size

NOVA offers these Leg Cast Protectors in four lengths for different coverage needs. Choose a protector long enough to completely cover the cast or bandage while allowing the flexible seal to sit securely against the leg above the protected area.

Putting On the Cast Protector

NOVA instructs users to check the cast for sharp edges before putting on the protector and to carefully position the flexible seal so the cast or bandage is completely covered.

1. Check the cast for sharp edges that could puncture or tear the cast protector.
2. Carefully place the flexible seal over the cast or bandage.
3. Slowly move the plastic ring up the leg until the protector completely covers the cast or bandage.
4. Make sure the flexible seal is secure around the leg to help prevent water from leaking inside.
5. Make sure the seal is not so tight that it affects blood circulation.

Removing the Cast Protector

NOVA instructs users to dry the ring and seal before removing the protector. When taking it off, move the plastic ring rather than pulling on the clear plastic covering, which may cause the protector to tear.

1. Dry the plastic ring and flexible seal before removing the protector from the leg.
2. Carefully position the flexible seal over the cast or bandage.
3. Move the plastic ring down the leg until the cast protector has been removed.
4. Do not pull on the clear plastic protector because doing so may cause tearing.

• Use this product only as a cast protector.
• Check the cast for sharp edges before each use because sharp areas may puncture or tear the protector.
• Make sure the flexible seal is secure around the leg before showering or bathing.

Keeping the Protector in Good Condition

Inspect the protector before each use for punctures, tears, or other damage that could allow water to reach the cast or bandage. Check the cast itself for sharp edges before putting the protector on, and handle the product by its plastic ring and flexible seal rather than pulling on the clear plastic covering.

Warranty

NOVA’s Cast Protector User Guide states that the product is guaranteed to last the life of the cast or bandage. The manufacturer also identifies the Cast Protector as intended for single-patient use.
