Delta Dry is a two-piece waterproof cast system that uses synthetic stockinette and padding under fiberglass cast tape. The liner feels similar to nylon and allows water to flow through and drain, helping patients shower or swim with a cast.
Delta Dry is popular in clinics that prefer a familiar wrap-and-pad technique but want the benefits of a waterproof fiberglass cast (swim cast) instead of a standard cotton-padded cast.
Can a patient shower or swim with a Delta Dry cast?
Yes — when applied correctly by a clinician, Delta Dry 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 Delta Dry different from OrthoH2O?
Delta Dry is a two-piece system using separate stockinette and padding layers, similar to a traditional wrap-and-pad technique. OrthoH2O is a one-piece slip-on mesh stockinette that can be faster to apply. Both create a true waterproof fiberglass cast.
Is Delta Dry compatible with standard fiberglass tape?
Yes. Delta Dry works with standard fiberglass casting tape. No proprietary tape is required.
Who can apply a Delta Dry waterproof cast?
Delta Dry is a clinical product intended for application by orthopedic technicians, physicians, or trained casting staff. It is not a DIY product.
Is Delta Dry 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. Delta Dry is applied under the fiberglass during casting, making the cast itself waterproof from the inside out.
Fantastic boot! Super comfortable and love the air pump for additional ankle support
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!
