LimbO Products - Waterproof Protection for Casts and Dressings

Benefits

The Medifan has been specially designed to produce a flow output of 20 mph, which is comparable to a mains operated hairdryer. However, in many cases, when there has been a high degree of swelling, you may not be able to appreciate the benefits of the Medifan until some of the swelling has reduced.

Inserting foreign objects into you plaster cast can be very hazardous. And skin abrasions caused by this can become infected and can result in the cast having to be removed. In addition, healthcare professionals advise AGAINST putting things such as oil or talcum powder into the cast as these can mix with sweat and become a cause of irritation.

When the cast is newly fitted there will often be some swelling. You need to wait for this to reduce before you will get the most out of the Medifan.

The Medifan can be directed into any area on any cast. However, with the new permeable fibreglass casts you can also use the Medifan right through the cast, enabling you to pin point the area of discomfort.

The Medifan is one of the only systems on the market designed specifically for itch relief in keeping with the recommendations of healthcare professionals.
