Well Worth the Money -- Keeps Cast Dry in Shower!
Top reviews from the United States

- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2012Surgery on my dominant hand and its subsequent casting posed quite a challenge; my other hand is only partially funtional. Since I was not to get the cast wet, showering was going to be tricky. My spouse travels for work, and I needed something to keep the cast dry. I had to be able to manage without assistance. Curad Cast Protector (Adult Arm) proved to be a lifesaver!
Curad Cast Protector is easy to put on, even with only minimum grip-strength in my uncasted hand. Although the opening appears small, it stretched to accommodate the cast and then contracts snugly to fit my upper arm. The Curad Cast Protector slides easily over a fiberglass cast. The absence of a ring which needs to be adjusted or snapped closed is another positive. Made of a slightly heavy vinyl-type material, the Curad Cast Protector is ideal for those of us who are sensitive to or allergic to latex. Two cast protectors come in the package, but I believe I will be able to use only one during the six weeks I am in the cast. Amazon's prie was 30% less than the chain drugstores.
I did experience some minimal leakage the first time I used the Curad Cast Protector, but have subsequently learned not to leave the top "dished" so that water pools in the depression. I simply ease the top upward as far as possible, making sure to do so evenly. Then I flatten the sides to my arm - voila, no more leaks!
I am a smaller individual, so I am providing some measurements to assist you in making your purchase decision. My forearm, from the elbow to the end of my middle finger measures 16"; the Curad Cast Protector extends about 4" above my elbow. My cast measures about 13" at the widest point and the thumb is completely encased, extending at about a 60 degree angle. My upper arm measures about 10.5" where the Curad Cast Protector (Adult Arm) ends.
If you are in need of a cast protector that works well for showering, is easy to use, and is reasonably priced, you should consider the Curad Cast Protector products. In my opinion, this is definitely a 5-star item.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2017This has been a lifesaver (or at least a cast-saver)! It has allowed me to perform a number of necessary tasks with very little advance preparation. Instead of taping a plastic bag to my arm I just slide the cast cover up. It's easy-on, easy-off. The aperture fits my arm snugly without being uncomfortably tight. I doubt it would work for swimming laps, but it has remained watertight for showering. The material is both sturdy and flexible; I have yet to puncture it while washing dishes.
I had wrist surgery, so my cast ends about 3" below my elbow. I don't pull the protector any higher than that.
Like other reviewers, I'm not crazy about the mitten portion of the protector. The thumb is very short, while the finger area is ridiculously long. But if you look at the picture on the package, you'll realize that at least Curad is providing accurate up-front information.
Before ordering this protector I purchased a similar item at a local branch of a chain drugstore. Even with help, I could not slide it on. The aperture was made of a very thick material that didn't stretch well at all. Our attempts to force that item over my cast were quite painful; luckily, I was able to return it.
Just to be on the safe side, I ordered another box of these protectors since I'll be wearing my cast for a few more weeks. Why not -- two boxes of Curad protectors cost about the same as the single protector I returned!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2017Perfect. Good, strong material. Now no need to have someone else tape me up! I ordinarily would write out an extensive review raving about it but typing mostly with one hand is arduous. I will say this, that little hole your hand slides thru DOES stretch. Just be patient and pull it over your hand and cast bit by bit.
The material seems like thin shower curtain liner plastic, so it has some elasticity. Good quality. Just don't submerge it. I've successfully used this 3x and its still holding up. I'll get some pix uploaded later.
Definitely better than a garbage bag and/or plastic wrap & duct tape. Keeps water out if you use it properly.
UPDATE: 2/5/2017 - Been using the same "glove" since receiving this, and still works great! Uploaded photos to show how big it really is. 22" goes comfortably just past my elbow. Slides on and off quite easily.
UPDATE: 2/22/2017 - Getting the cast off Friday,the 24th. Been using the same one since I've received it and no issues. This has really been great. So much better than trying to wrap a garbage bag. If you are careful, one should last at least a month of showers. And I don't have an arm "the size of a broom-stick." The hole will stretch then retract around your arm. The plastic is decent quality so it has some elasticity to it. So, bottom line, two thumbs up!

3.0 out of 5 stars No protege tanto
No tiene forma de ajustarse para un cierre más hermético, por lo que no protege tanto. Sirve para evitar salpicaduras, pero no para sumergir la mano ni para una ducha.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and works perfectly
Very easy to use. Roomy enough not to be restricting. Seals well and keeps everything nice and dry. Does what it says on the tin.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I found these sooner...
These cast protectors are absolutely the best and I’ve tried many ‘things’ to cover my hand/arm cast that would be waterproof and comfortable. I’ve tried doubling up grocery bags, ziploc bags and boot covers holding them in place with elastics,. I’ve tried cast protectors that were rubber and you pump them up like a blood pressure cuff and the ones with the annoying huge plastic ring on them, etc etc. NONE of these can even come close to the Curad Cast Protectors and the price cannot be beat. You get two protectors in a pack, they are like a thin stretchable rubber. They’re very durable, comfortable and I’ve been using the same first one one now for at least 8 showers and still no leaking. I had thumb/wrist surgery and my thumb(cast) is quite wide, extended out at about a 45 egree angle. The opening on these protectors is small but it stretches out plenty to get over the cast and also covers my elbow. It then retracts enough to give a watertight seal without feeling too tight or cutting off circulation. I am so impressed with these that I took them to my surgeon to show him so he could let other patients know about them, so they don’t have to waste hours upon hours searching for something like this, as I did.
