The Seal-Tight Original Cast and Bandage Protector is the gold standard in medical-grade moisture protection, engineered to keep fiberglass and plaster casts 100% dry.

Its patented application ring and high-performance diaphragm provide a consistent, watertight seal that is guaranteed to last the entire life of your cast.
Key Features & Clinical Benefits
-
Watertight Diaphragm: The non-latex TPE diaphragm stretches easily over bulky casts and snaps back to form a leak-proof seal against the skin.
-
One-Handed Application: The rigid plastic ring provides a stable grip, allowing patients to apply the protector independently without pumps, straps, or adhesive.
-
Durable Polyvinyl Construction: The heavy-duty bag is puncture-resistant and designed to withstand the rough edges of fiberglass casting material.
-
Enhanced Hygiene: By preventing moisture penetration, it significantly reduces the risk of skin maceration, fungal growth, and infection under the cast.
-
Latex-Free: Safe for individuals with skin sensitivities or natural rubber latex allergies.
How to Measure for a Perfect Fit
To ensure a watertight seal, the protector must sit on bare skin at least 1-2 inches above the cast. Do not size based on height or weight.
-
Measure Length: Measure from the tip of the finger/heel to 2 inches above the top of the cast.
-
Measure Circumference: Measure the limb's circumference at the point where the seal will rest (bare skin).
Professional Usage Instructions
-
Application: Hold the plastic ring and stretch the rubber diaphragm over the cast. Pull upward until the seal is 1-2 inches above the cast edge.
-
The Squeegee Seal: Once in place, push the ring slightly back toward the cast. This causes the edge of the rubber diaphragm to flare upward, creating a "squeegee" effect that prevents water from pooling at the entry point.
-
Removal: Thoroughly dry the rubber seal before stretching it to slide over the cast. Never pull on the polyvinyl bag to remove, as this can tear the material.
-
Care: Hang to air-dry after each use. Do not store in direct sunlight or extreme heat.
Important Note: The Seal-Tight Original is designed for showering and bathing only. It is not intended for recreational swimming or full submersion in pools. For swimming, we recommend the Seal-Tight Sport model.
