Q: What is Aquacast Liner?

 

A: AquaCast Liners are waterproof, breathable, and washable, minimizing cast-related frustrations.  Our liners replace the cotton liners and stockinettes underneath a fiberglass cast, giving patients the freedom to continue their normal daily activities – bathing, showering, and even swimming.  AquaCast Liners can be used with any type of fiberglass cast.

​

Q: Why should you use Aquacast Liner?

 

A: AquaCast Liner is the best waterproof cast liner. Developed by engineers in conjunction with an orthopaedic surgeon and OTCs from across the country, AquaCast Liner has become the choice for hospitals and practices looking to provide the best patient care possible. Ask your healthcare provider for a cast with an AquaCast Liner. All AquaCast Liner products are not made with natural rubber latex.

​

Q: How Aquacast Liner works?

​

A: AquaCast Liner is made with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) which contains billions of tiny pores that are much larger than moisture vapor molecules but much smaller than liquid water droplets. The AquaCast waterproof liner remains dry while your skin gets wet. Water will drain quickly out of the ends of the cast.  The patient’s body temperature heats up the remaining water causing it to vaporize and pass through the liner and the fiberglass cast tape. All AquaCast Liner products are not made with natural rubber latex.
