Abstract:

Cast covers, that allow someone who has a casted arm or leg, and has been authorized by a physician to resume playing a particular sport (e.g., football), to protect both the casted limb and other players from collision with the hard material in the cast, by covering the cast with a cushioning material. The cast covers are precast and premolded in different sizes and colors to meet individual needs and tastes. The cast cover has a generally tubular shape. Preferably, there are multiple layers of flexible but solid material, such as polyurethane foam, polyethylene foam, or ethylene vinyl acetate foam. In some embodiments, the tube is closed, except for openings at its ends. In other embodiments, there is a longitudinal opening running between the open ends of the tube, and the tube is secured on a casted limb by strips of hook and loop fasteners that traverse the longitudinal opening.
