Delta Dry Waterproof Short Leg Cast Kit

Delta Dry Waterproof Short Leg Cast Kit — Swim Cast Materials for Below-Knee Fractures

The Delta Dry Waterproof Short Leg Cast Kit contains everything needed to create a true waterproof below-knee cast using the Delta Dry two-piece system — a water-resistant stockinette liner plus Delta Dry waterproof padding rolls, finished with fiberglass casting tape. Bring this kit to your clinician for professional application. Once applied, patients can shower, bathe, and swim throughout their recovery without covering or removing the cast.

Delta Dry by BSN Essity uses a two-component approach: a water-resistant stockinette is applied first, followed by Delta Dry waterproof padding rolls, then fiberglass tape. Water passes through the system and drains freely, preventing the moisture buildup that causes traditional cotton-padded casts to soften, develop odor, and break down — especially critical for leg casts worn during summer or by active patients.

Why Choose Delta Dry for a Waterproof Short Leg Cast?

• True waterproof cast — not a removable cover. Water passes through and drains freely; no moisture trapped against skin
• Two-piece system — water-resistant stockinette + padding rolls for a familiar wrap-and-pad workflow
• Swim, shower & bathe freely — patients maintain normal hygiene and activity levels during recovery
• Compatible with standard fiberglass tape — no proprietary casting system required
• Pediatric through adult sizing — kits sized for every patient from infant to large adult
• BSN Essity brand — same manufacturer as AquaCast; trusted by orthopedic clinics worldwide

Indications — Who Needs a Waterproof Short Leg Cast?

• Stable ankle fractures (lateral malleolus, bimalleolar)
• Foot fractures (metatarsal, calcaneus, midfoot)
• Fifth metatarsal fractures (Jones fracture, dancer’s fracture)
• Post-surgical immobilization of the ankle or foot
• Active patients — children, swimmers, athletes — who cannot avoid water exposure during recovery

How to Apply Delta Dry Waterproof Short Leg Cast

1. Apply Delta Dry Stockinette — slip the water-resistant stockinette over the foot and up to just below the knee
2. Apply Delta Dry Padding — wrap the waterproof padding rolls smoothly from toes to below the knee, overlapping 50%
3. Apply Fiberglass Cast Tape — wrap over the Delta Dry padding to complete the waterproof short leg cast
