A waterproof cast is a step above a simple cast cover. Waterproof casts are made with traditional fiberglass casting tape, but they differ greatly in the padding materials that are used under the hard cast shell. This padding is waterproof or water-resistant and allows you to bathe, shower, and even swim all while in a cast.
The average cost of a water-resistant cast varies by the type or brand of materials used. For a short arm cast, a patient can expect a cost of $40-50 and for larger casts, the price will increase from there.
We carry 3 brands of waterproof cast materials Aquacast, Delta Dry, and OrthoNeal. You can see the base materials below in the categories and if you order one of our kits you get everything you need to make a cast fully water-resistant. Simply take it to your orthopedic technician and have it applied. If you are looking for a recommendation, we suggest OrthoNeal.
