OrthoTape OrthoH20 cylindrical undercast padding | Short Arm Waterproof Cast Kit
OrthoTape OrthoH20 (formerly OrthoNEAL) is a hypo-allergenic thick synthetic waterproof cast stockinette, that offers extraordinary comfort to patients. Manufactured from Aerosliver yarn, it’s skin-irritation-free and water-repellent.

OrthoH20 Under-Pad contains silver (Ag), an antimicrobial ion that helps prevent infections. With OrthoH20, patients can shower, bathe, and participate in water-related activities without covering their casts. The antimicrobial fabric blend ensures fast drying and prevents skin irritation and unpleasant odors. Experience superior comfort with an OrthoH20 waterproof cast!
Reduced Skin Irritation and Odor

It acts as an excellent protective pad between skin and casting tape.
The unique fabric blend also allows the skin to breathe beneath the hard cast to help reduce odor and discomfort.

*This product should be applied by a trained medical professional or for educational training. Always consult a doctor before use. Make sure the doctor or technician knows how to apply the cast from the video instructions provided on this site. Note: A waterproof cast is an alternative to traditional casting materials that cannot get wet. If a traditional cast gets wet, it is ruined and must be removed immediately. However, this does not mean that you can get your waterproof cast wet all day long and not allow a drying period. We recommend that you allow a drying period between wetting times such as bathing or swimming. A hairdryer on a low setting can speed up the process, but body heat needs to evaporate the remaining damp water inside the cast. This allows the patient to get a cast wet, and it not be ruined. But the cast still needs a drying time that will vary by person and cast type between wet periods in order to achieve full dryness. Never apply fiberglass cast tape directly to the skin.
What is the difference between OrthoTape OrthoH20, AquaCast, and Delta Dry?
The three main differences are:
OrthoTape OrthoH20 is an easy one-piece design. It also has more breathability and does not pool water at the elbow or heel of the foot.
AquaCast has been around for a while now and many doctors are familiar with it.
Delta Dry is a lightweight material that can dry fast and is easy to apply.
Will my Doctor put this on for me?
It usually depends on the doctor as to whether they want you to be in a waterproof cast. Usually, you will ask one and they may say no, and you ask another and they are happy to apply it for you. So it is best to ask around to get the right doctors as they all differ in opinion. Let your doctor know you will be compliant with all instructions and take care of the waterproof cast. If you do find a doctor that is willing to work with you. Let us know as we are compiling a list and can share it with others like you.
Why don't doctors already carry this item? It may be they are not familiar with it. It could also be due to space in the office for inventory. Or it could simply be it is not covered by many insurances, so it is an out-of-pocket cost. Either way, you can always take it to them or have us ship it directly to their office for your visit. Please let your doctor know about us so they can tell their other patients about us.
How long does it take to dry and do I use soap to clean it? The cast can dry to touch in as little as 1/2 hour to an hour. It should be completely dry in under 12 to 24 hours. It is recommended that you give yourself one day's rest in between getting wet times to allow your skin to dry out better. To dry it faster, you can just use a hairdryer on a low setting or check out our cast cooler. It gets the cast dry super fast. To clean just use gentle soap and if does begin to stink, you can soak it in a mixture of 1 cup hydrogen peroxide to 1 gallon water strength. You can also mix in 1/3 cup of rubbing alcohol if you really want to kill any bacteria in the cast.
How fast can you ship it? We ship super fast, same day by 2 PM EST. At the checkout, you will be able to upgrade your shipping to faster options. It is best to get it in advance of your doctor's appointment rather than the day of. Always plan ahead and get the supplies you need sooner than you need them. True you may need to do it Overnight, but it is better to have the supplies in hand 1-2 days before the appointment.
Can you swim in salt water or chlorine with the cast? Yes, The cast is designed to handle both saltwater and chlorine. Always remember to flush it with clean water to remove the salt or chlorine.
What comes with the waterproof cast kit? OrthoTape OrthoH20 waterproof padding kits come with a tubular stockinette that is put on first. The casting tape (the hard shell) is also included so remember to choose a color for your tape. The casting tape is the outer shell of the cast.
My son broke his thumb right before a family beach getaway. We were so glad to find this waterproof cast. He was able to play in the bay like normal, including swimming across. It took a few hours to dry completely, but it wasn’t uncomfortable while wet. This definitely made having a cast on at the end of Summer less of a bummer.

Smelly cast
Maybe I got a defective kit, but all this has been a smelly waste of money. The stocknet has done nothing but retain the water inside my cast. It does NOT dry out.Maybe its because the tape set WAY too quickly and so it didn't adhere correctly, I dont know. But regardless, I do not recommend this product. The stocknet slides down, retains water, and when I've BARELY even had it in water (literally only showers and not in it for long periods either) it sure stays wet and becomes very smelly. A regular cast is not near as bad.

Worth it
My wife really wanted our daughter to have a water proof cast since she broke her arm beginning of summer. This was a great option and priced well. Daughter has not complained at all about the cast except for standard itching every once in a while. She actually just took a shower in it without issue. It does take some time to dry after. We did have problems with the first application of the cast as it didn't want to adhere correctly and was essentially falling apart. Customer service was fantastic and we received a replacement quickly. No problems with the second application so far. I would recommend considering the dry application method.

Waterproof arm cast
I ordered the adult large that comes with two rolls of 2” and one roll of 3”. One of the 2” rolls was defective (the doctor could not get it to stick). Fortunately, the other 2” and the 3” roll worked well so the arm was able to be casted.
My 3 year old broke his arm and the cast they put on him was a nightmare. The first couple days wearing the hospital cast I knew there had to be something better. I did some searching and came across the waterproof cast. I ordered it and took it to his doctor and asked to put it on. At first they said “NO” but another doctor there heard what I wanted and she has been on the hospital for awhile now to order a waterproof cast and she was wanting to see how they did, so she replaced the old cast with the one I ordered. I can’t wait to show them how great it is. My son has be swimming, fishing ( which leads to getting muddy) and the cast has been awesome. No stressing about getting it wet or dirty. We can just rinse it off!!

Extremely high quality product
This is an extremely high quality product and they ship very quickly. The price is very reasonable
The first time applying the casting material, the 2 in rolls were setting before they ever even made it from the water to my arm. So it was difficult to apply, and could not get either roll to stick and form/set properly. All of which hurt my arm from the movenents.
However, the 3 roll was MUCH better and worked great. Only wish there were 2 rolls of the 3 vs the 2. Overall not a bad product, but am going to try out the orthoneal instead of repurchasing delta dry.
