[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kaiser don’t offer a waterproof cast, but if you buy the materials they will put it on for you. The cast covers work ok but no way will he be able to put in a water tight one himself. I also wouldn’t submerge them.[/quote]

Where can I buy the materials? Please help. We need to get one before 9am tomorrow. Thanks[/quote]

Sorry I only found them online. Orthocasts.com - they shipped it fast but obviously not quick enough for tomorrow. When you are there tomorrow let them know that you want to switch it out for a waterproof cast asap and they will confirm that they can do it (not all the techs are familiar with it, so best to work out in advance, though having gone through this multiple times the waterproof material works and is put on exactly the same way as a regular cast) and that your doctor is comfortable with it (my kid’s ortho wanted him to wait a couple of weeks first). Then arrange to make an appointment to switch out the cast for the waterproof one as soon as you have the materials. There was no issue with doing this for my kid and they didn’t even charge us a copay. You just need an appointment with the orthopedic technician. Good luck![/quote]
