What are AquaCast\u00ae<\/span> Liner casts?<\/h2>\n

\n
• \n

  They are waterproof casts that allow the patient to carry on with his daily activities despite having to be immobilised, minimising inconvenience and frustration that comes with wearing a cast and a splint, as these casts can get wet.<\/p>\n

  Our ground-breaking products replace classic cotton and cast used until now to immobilise fractures, sprains and dislocations, allowing the patient to carry on with his daily activities such as showering, swimming, engaging in sports activities, going to the spa, washing dishes, etc.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

• They are made of a water-repellent, breathable and washable padding material (AquaCast Liner) and a coloured fibreglass bandage.\n

  AquaCast\u00ae Liner is the best padding material for water-resistant casts and has become the preferred product for traumatologists that want to offer their patients the best possible quality of life during immobilisation due to fractures, sprains and\/or dislocations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  <\/span>ABSTRACT: <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

  This study evaluated patient satisfaction and skin integrity after immobilization with AquaCast^{\u00ae <\/sup><\/span>waterproof liner. Waterproof liner, an emerging technology, is designed to allow proper fracture immobilization, participation in water activities and improved hygiene. Only short arm, long arm, or short leg casts were included.<\/p>\n}

  This study was a retrospective non-randomized survey with de-identified patient information. The study included seventy-two patients, aged 24 months to 64 years (mean 11.7 years). Reduced fractures were excluded. AquaCast Liner was provided free for participation.<\/p>\n

  Seventy-one out of seventy-two patients (98.6%) wearing AquaCast Liner had average or better skin quality. Seventy-one out of seventy-two patients would recommend AquaCast Liner to others. All fractures healed without complication.<\/p>\n

  Waterproof casting has been reported to increase patient\u00a0comfort and satisfaction, and decrease skin irritation. There\u00a0are no available data on the influence of waterproof casting\u00a0materials on physical function in pediatric patients. Our aim\u00a0was to determine whether the use of waterproof casting\u00a0would result in faster recovery of physical function while\u00a0maintaining similar clinical outcomes as those obtained\u00a0with nonwaterproof materials. Twenty-six children with\u00a0nonangulated or minimally angulated distal radius fractures\u00a0were assigned randomly to initially receive a short-arm cast\u00a0made of one of two optional materials: a hybrid mesh\u00a0material with a waterproof lining or fiberglass with a\u00a0nonwaterproof skin protector. Two weeks later, the initial\u00a0cast was removed and replaced with a short-arm cast made\u00a0of the alternative option. We compared the rate of fracture\u00a0displacement, physical function, pain, skin changes,\u00a0itchiness, and patient satisfaction. No evidence of\u00a0displacement was found in either group. The mean Activities\u00a0Scale for Kids \u2013 Performance (ASK-P) (physical function)\u00a0score was 10% higher during the period of time when a\u00a0waterproof cast was used (P=0.04). When a waterproof\u00a0cast was used during the first 2 weeks of treatment, the\u00a0mean total ASK-P scores were 23% higher than that when a\u00a0nonwaterproof one was used during the same period of\u00a0time (P=0.003). Patients who received a waterproof cast as\u00a0the initial treatment reported lower functional scores overall\u00a0and in almost every domain of the ASK-P once they were in\u00a0a nonwaterproof one; similarly, those who received a nonwaterproof cast as the initial treatment reported higher functional scores overall and in every domain of the ASK-P\u00a0once they were in a waterproof cast. Compared with a\u00a0nonwaterproof cast, the use of waterproof casting resulted\u00a0in comparable levels of pain, itchiness, skin irritability, and\u00a0overall patient satisfaction. The results of this randomized,\u00a0cross-over trial suggest that the use of waterproof casting\u00a0material for the treatment of nondisplaced or minimally\u00a0displaced distal radius fractures in children can result in a\u00a0faster recovery of physical function, while providing\u00a0comparable stability, pain, itchiness, skin irritability, and overall patient satisfaction.<\/p>\n

  <\/span>Background: <\/b>The study was designed to investigate the prevalence and determinants of waterproof casting in children being treated for a fracture at a pediatric orthopedic surgery clinic. Patients whose fractures need immobilization with a cast are given the option to pay for a waterproof liner, which is not covered by insurance carriers. The determining factors in their decision can include sex, age, time of year, and price.<\/p>\n

  Methods: <\/b>Subjects were selected for this study if they were placed in a fiberglass cast within a one-year period. The following information was compiled for each patient: sex, age, date of treatment, type of cast, and type of insurance (private, Medicaid, etc.). Also noted was whether or not the patient opted for waterproof casting. All of the patients were immobilized in a cast for approximately the same length of time.<\/p>\n

  Results: <\/b>A total of 2407 casts were applied in the one-year period of the study, 960 (39.9%) of them with a waterproof liner. The prevalence of waterproof cast use was highest in privately insured patients, for children over the age of five, and during the warmer months. The lowest percentage of waterproof casts was among patients insured by Medicaid, the government program for families with limited financial resources.<\/p>\n

  Conclusion: <\/b>Waterproof casts are of value to pediatric patients and their parents because they allow children to continue with their normal hygiene regimen and recreational activities, but at a cost that it considered too high for some. Providing the option of a waterproof cast benefits both the practice and the patient.<\/p>\n

  This study was designed to determine the efficacy of waterproof cast-lining materials in children with short-arm, long-arm, and short-leg casts. Eligible patients had healing fractures 2 weeks after reduction, stable fractures requiring no reduction, or sprains. A total of 165 waterproof-lined casts were applied and 124 children and parents completed a survey (76.9%) upon cast removal.<\/p>\n

  Results:\u00a0revealed 79% very satisfied, 21% satisfied, and 0% dissatisfied. There\u00a0were 16 (12.9%) minor skin integrity issues. Waterproof casts in\u00a0stable fractures and sprains allow acceptable immobilization with no\u00a0significant associated unusual risk and allow children to resume their\u00a0usual recreational water activities and hygiene regimen without risk\u00a0of adverse results.<\/p>\n

  Our waterproof casts are a lot more resistant than a conventional cast.<\/p>\n

  A waterproof cast\u2019s weight is much lower than that of a conventional cast.<\/p>\n

  Its exclusive system drains excess water and sweat, allowing the skin to normally breath.<\/p>\n

  What are AquaCast\u00ae Liner casts? They are waterproof casts that allow the patient to carry on with his daily activities despite having to be immobilised, minimising inconvenience and frustration that comes with wearing a cast and a splint, as these casts can get wet.
