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!

🎨 Why Buy Direct from OrthoTape?
Most doctor's offices stock only 2–3 basic cast colors because they don't want to manage large inventories. That means you're often stuck with white or beige — for a cast you'll wear for weeks. OrthoTape offers 16+ colors at a fraction of what clinics charge. Same professional-grade materials. Your color. Your choice. Many patients bring their OrthoTape kit to their appointment — doctors are happy to use it. You can also purchase this kit for your midterm cast change and save significantly on the materials cost.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions
What is a long arm cast and when is it used?
A long arm cast (also called a full arm cast) immobilizes the elbow, forearm, and wrist in a single rigid cast. It is most commonly used for a broken humerus (upper arm bone), elbow fractures, and forearm fractures where the elbow must be kept still to allow proper healing. The cast typically holds the elbow at a 90-degree angle.
How long do you wear a long arm cast for a broken humerus?
Most patients wear a long arm cast for a broken humerus for 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the severity of the fracture, the patient's age, and the treating physician's protocol. Children often heal faster than adults. Your orthopedic surgeon will monitor healing with X-rays and determine when the cast can be removed or transitioned to a shorter cast or brace.
What is the difference between a long arm cast and a short arm cast?
A long arm cast (full arm cast) extends from the upper arm or just below the shoulder down to the palm, immobilizing the elbow. A short arm cast only covers the forearm and wrist, leaving the elbow free. Long arm casts are required when the elbow joint must be immobilized — such as with humerus fractures, elbow fractures, or certain forearm fractures.
Can I bring my own cast kit to my doctor's appointment?
Yes — many patients bring their OrthoTape kit to their appointment. Doctors are generally happy to use patient-supplied materials, and you'll save money on the casting materials portion of your visit. It's best to have your kit in hand 1–2 days before your appointment. Order by 2 PM EST for same-day shipping.
Is this kit FSA or HSA eligible?
Yes. OrthoTape casting supplies are FSA/HSA eligible medical products. HCPCS code A4570 applies to casting supplies. Check with your plan administrator for specific coverage details.
