Materials Needed
Before starting to wear the cast protector, please prepare the following items:
- Senyang Cast Protector
- Towel
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Area
To begin with, skin around the cast and the area should be free from dirt or oil. Use a dry cloth to rub off any remaining moisture and dusts gently. Also, take off any kind of jewelry or ornaments which may hinder perfect fitting or sealing of the guard.
Step 2: Choose the Right Size
To make sure that the protector works, it is vital to choose the right size of the cast protector determined by your own cast measurements. Follow these steps to measure your cast.
- Measure the Length of the Cast: Grab a soft measuring tape and measure the length of the cast from one end to another.
- Measure the Circumference of the Cast: Determine its circumference by measuring around the largest area of the cast.
Pick an appropriate protector size based on these measures. Most adult casts will fit into Senyang’s standard 650*430*180mm-sized cast protectors.
Step 3: Open the Cast Protector
Take extreme care when unpacking a Senyang cast protector; take time to open it completely before using. Inspect all parts of the shield for any defects or damages.
Step 4: Insert the Cast
Insert your cast gently into this protective device from senyang. Start with inserting the bottom part of this protective device first and then insert gradually all over the entire thing into it. Make sure that there are no ‘‘pockets’’ in which air may get contained in between so as not to interfere with proper sealing thereby ensuring full coverage.
Step 5: Secure the Seal
Most times the top part of the guard is sealed with a stretchable ring or has a band that can be adjusted. Adjust the sealing ring or band so as to fit them closely against your skin to avoid letting in water Ensure that there are no gaps by gently pressing around the sealing ring against the skin.
Step 6: Check Comfort and Fit
After putting on the guard, ensure it is comfortable and fitting well. The guard should not be overly tight leading to poor blood circulation nor too loose permitting water entry. If there is discomfort, adjust how tight the sealing ring is as well as its position.
Step 7: Test the Protector
Before using, try briefly running water on cast cover to check for leaks. Immerse sealed area into water and look out for any signs of water penetration. During this process if any leakage is noted, repositioning of sealing rings would ensure a good fitting.
