Fantastic boot! Super comfortable and love the air pump for additional ankle support. I actually put 20k steps on it the other day doing yard work and felt just fine. Highly recommended!

AquaCast – Waterproof Cast Padding & Swim Cast Kits
AquaCast is a soft, pillow-type waterproof cast padding used under fiberglass cast tape to create a true waterproof cast or swim cast. The padding is wrapped around the limb and then finished with fiberglass, allowing water to flow through and drain instead of soaking into cotton.
AquaCast waterproof cast kits are popular for kids and active patients who want to shower or swim with a cast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a patient shower or swim with an AquaCast cast?
Yes — when applied correctly by a clinician, AquaCast creates a waterproof fiberglass cast that allows showering, bathing, and swimming when approved by the healthcare provider. Patients should always follow their provider's cast care instructions.
How is AquaCast different from OrthoH2O?
AquaCast uses soft, pillow-type padding rolls wrapped around the limb before fiberglass is applied. OrthoH2O is a one-piece slip-on mesh stockinette that can be faster to apply. Both create a true waterproof fiberglass cast.
Is AquaCast compatible with standard fiberglass tape?
Yes. AquaCast waterproof padding works with standard fiberglass casting tape. No proprietary tape is required.
Who can apply an AquaCast waterproof cast?
AquaCast is a clinical product intended for application by orthopedic technicians, physicians, or trained casting staff. It is not a DIY product.
Is AquaCast the same as a waterproof cast cover?
No. A cast cover is a removable sleeve placed over an existing cast and is not truly waterproof. AquaCast is applied under the fiberglass during casting, making the cast itself waterproof from the inside out.
