The LimbO provides a significant quality of life improvement for the user. It is a non-sterile product and is primarily intended for use in a bath or shower.

As the LimbO is robust and waterproof it can be used in swimming pools or in hydro pools provided some basic common sense precautions are taken. (see details under swimming)

The LimbO enables you enjoy the healing benefits that water can provide for the rest of your body whilst ensuring your wound or plaster remains dry.

1) The toes or fingers become blue or swollen or if you are unable to move a limb.
2) The limbs become more painful.
3) You feel pins and needles or numbness.
4) Any blister like pain or rubbing under your cast.
5) There is a discharge, wetness or smell under the cast
6) If you drop any object inside the cast

Care
- Exercise the joints not held in the cast as much as possible.

- Elevate the limb as much as possible, especially during the first few days.

- Do not allow the limb to hang down unless it is being used.

- If your cast is made of Plaster of Paris, allow it to dry naturally and leave it uncovered for 48 hours.

- Do not sit close to the fire as your cast may become hot and burn you.

- Do not wet your cast. It may disintegrate or cause skin problems.

- Do not cut, heat or otherwise interfere with your cast. If the cast becomes cracked, soft, loose or tight, or if you are worried, return to the hospital.
