 OrthoH20 cylindrical undercast padding | Long Leg 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. The Quick-Wick Technology allows exposure to wet conditions, and its circular-knitted fiber drains water effortlessly. OrthoH20 Under-Pad contains silver (Ag), an antimicrobial ion that helps prevent bacterial growth and 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!

Everything you need to make a waterproof cast is included in this kit!

Size Information:





Make sure your doctor or cast technician watches our application video so they know how to apply your cast correctly!

OrthoTape OrthoH20 Under-Pad is a tubular bandage and does not require additional padding. To use OrthoTape OrthoH20 Under-Pad, simply slip it over the patient’s extremity, double it up, and apply OrthoTape Casting tape for a strong, durable, and comfortable cast. 


Use a similar application as seen below for the leg by doubling up the stockinette. 
*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. However, the cast still needs a drying time that will vary by person and cast type between wet periods 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 need to become more familiar with it. It could also be due to space in the office for inventory. Many insurances do not cover it, 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. You should give yourself one day's rest in between getting wet times to allow your skin to dry out better. To dry it faster, use a hair dryer on a low setting or check out our cast cooler. It gets the cast dry super fast. To clean 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. Mix in 1/3 cup of rubbing alcohol 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 and get the supplies you need sooner than you need them. True you may need to do Overnight, but it is better to have the supplies in hand 1-2 days before the appointment.

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. It also comes with gloves too.

Busy Clinic Go to Waterproof padding

We are a busy Atlanta clinic and this is our go to waterproof padding. It is very quick and easy to apply and all of our patients have been so happy with their cast.

Great product.

My son (6 years old)had a long arm put on for 1 month and it was torture especially in the august California heat. When we found out he was getting a short arm after 4 weeks I ordered this in hopes it would help him being able to breath more in the cast, and not feel so overwhelmed.
It did! He even lets me wash his hand now without crying!! We don’t fully submerge it, but we do wash around the areas with ease.
It’s been amazing.
Site looked a little sketchy to me but I took the risk and glad I did. It was here in 4-5 days and having the camo Print has been nice, he gets lots of compliments.

Worked great!

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.
