Make your own cover for a plaster cast

snookey

Hi thought this might come in handy for anyone with a broken arm or leg.

Iv just made a waterproof cover for my lower leg cast. All you need is a;
pair of waterproof trousers
Needle and cotton.

Cut the trousers to the length of your leg.

Pull the trouser leg over your cast leaving enough to cover your foot

Sew the foot part up at the bottom

cut a strip from the trousers and sew to make a tie a near the top of your cover .

Fold over top of your cover.

Done in 20mins.

Good thing is you have a spare trouser leg for a change.

You can adapt to fit a arm cast.

Anyone can do this even a novice like me.

Any old wide legged trousers you could use for a cover to keep your cast clean.

Just to add not for submerging in water just as a cover for when outside.

What a good idea I haven't broken anything for ages (and I hope not to again!) but I when I broke my arm remember what a nuisance it was trying to keep my cast dry. Trying to tuck a bin bag in the top is not easy.
