Like you, I always wanted my children to enjoy Halloween, but I worried about their safety. Even more so if your child has sustained an injury. FUN (?) FACT: CastCoverz! was created because of a broken bone my then 10 year old daughter sustained right before Halloween. It’s always important to do all we can to keep our children safe during Halloween, especially since most activities will be in the late evening. Some of your kids will be out after dark for the first time. So please heed these Halloween safety tips, whether or not your child has a broken bone or other injury: Continue reading →
Ouch! So you – or your child – has a broken bone. You are not alone! There were over 7 million broken bones reported last year. Though bones can break in multiple ways, there are 5 common breaks. What type of broken bone do you have?
Whichever break you have, you probably are in a cast, boot or sling. You’re on the right blog because this is where CastCoverz!® comes in! We offer a huge variety of fun and functional cast covers for your Armz! or Legz!, Slingz!, braces, waterproof cast covers and accessories (crutches and canes). Keep your cast covered and current in a fashion-forward print or a solid color to match your outfit or mood.

One of the most frequently asked questions we hear at CastCoverz!® is, “How long am I going to be in this thing?” Of course, our customers are talking about their cast, or boot, or crutches, sling or any orthopedic device. So, we thought we’d give you some general guidelines on the time it takes for your broken bone to heal.
Broken bone healing varies from between 4 weeks to 24 weeks, depending on the type of fracture, which bone is broken, your age, medical condition, treatment plan, compliance, and nutrition. As fast as they grow-up, children’s bones generally heal faster than adults! Here is a visual healing timeline for broken bones:
In the meantime, don’t settle for a plain old cast!
We offer cast covers and slings for arms and legs in fun, happy, trendy, and cool patterns. Also available are waterproof cast covers, crutches, canes, and crutch accessories. CastCoverz! cast covers will change your conversations from, “Oh! What happened to you?” to “How cool is that?”.
