The pad adjusts to swelling and reduction in swelling for a more consistent and comfortable fit of the cast.ġ. The material used is water impervious to allow rinsing under the cast, eliminate odor collection and reduce moisture against the skin.
AIRFLOW CAST APP SKIN
The pad allows air flow to the skin through the air channels to minimize rashes and itching under the cast. The pad and folded edges can then be completely wrapped with a water resistant tape to form a complete water resistant cast. The outer ends of the orthopedic airflow cast pad are folded over to form folded edges. The pad is circled taped around the pad to hold it in proper position.

Excess material is cut and trimmed with a scissors.

The broken limb, in which the bone has been set, is placed across the cushions on the pad. The orthopedic airflow cast pad is used to immobilize a fractured limb. The orthopedic airflow cast pad can be molded or formed from a single sheet of a water impermeable material, such as a thermal closed cell polyethylene.

The orthopedic airflow cast pad of this invention consists basically of a base pad with a plurality of cushions projection outward in a particular pattern to create a plurality of air channels.
