National Youth Sports Safety Month is in Full Swing!

STOP Sports Injuries

STOP Sports Injuries helps keep kids in the game for life!  With spring and summer sports getting underway, it’s time to learn how you can help prevent sports injuries in kids and in your community, too!

You can educate yourself about the risk of injuries, especially concussions, and any other injury that is particularly associated with your child’s chosen sport, from About.com, HERE!

A recent article in Orthopedicstoday presented results, from two studies at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Specialty Day, which indicate that exercise at a young age can improve bone growth and reduce fracture risk in old age. AOSSM has also published specific injury prevention tip sheets for 20 different sports and activities.

Should your child suffer an injury while showing their stuff out on the sports field, CastCoverz! is here to help them Feel Better, so they Heal Better!  CastCoverz! provides functional and fashionable products designed to cover casts, orthotic walking boots, splints & braces, and we also offer designer colored crutches, CrutchWear accessories, and companion products to bring relief and comfort to orthopedic patients.  No matter what the orthopedic event is, we’ve got you covered!

 

 

Cast Covers Team Attends AAOS Conference in Chicago

 

CastCoverz! just returned from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Conference held in Chicago, Illinois, at the world famous McCormick Place Event Center.  The AAOS show is the largest orthopedic trade-show in the world, with over 13,000 attendees from every continent on the planet!  Owner, Annette d. Giacomazzi, and Community Champion, Kristine Champion, had a fantastic week talking to doctors, nurses, and ortho techs about their 18-branded product line, providing functional and fashionable products that bring relief and comfort to orthopedic patients.

CastCooler, MediShield, and CastCoverz! Team

CastCoverz! represented the orthopedic soft-goods industry well, with a spacious booth shared with industry leaders, MediShield and CastCooler. MediShield fills an enormous demand for waterproof protection of casts, bandages, and prosthetics. Doctors, nurses, and especially ortho techs stated they were “unaware of any truly effective means of protecting casts, prosthetics, or bandaging against water.” “We are proud to distribute a product that works well for showering and bathing,” says CastCoverz! owner and founder, Annette d. Giacomazzi.  “But, I am very excited about their product upgrades, including a stronger, latex-free material.” 

CastCooler is a breakthrough in cast care, designed to concentrate cooling and drying effectiveness on moist areas under your cast. CastCooler will cool your cast, reduce odor and itch, freshen your cast, and speed dry your cast, should moisture get in.  When exhibit attendees tried out the sample CastCooler on display, they were AMAZED at how this product really works!  Also joining them in the booth was Tom Schwab, Founder and Owner of Goodbye Crutches, and his very popular knee scooter!

All in all, the AAOS Exhibit was quite a success! CastCoverz! looks forward to expanding upon their product line and remaining the leading global manufacturer, e-tailer, and innovator of essential orthopedic soft goods.  OH…and they announced their new toll-free number, 1(800) CASTCOVER (1-800-227-8268) and an adorable new pediatric line of arm cast covers, too.  BIG things happening at CastCoverz!

Share Your Story of Orthopaedic Recovery

 

Did you know one in four Americans suffers from an impairment that impacts their ability to move?  We often take everyday activities for granted until something goes wrong.  Orthopedic surgeons understand bone and joint health issues and dedicate their abilities to helping those who have lost mobility regain it back and be free to enjoy every stage of life.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) has created a national campaign called A Nation in Motion, which shares stories of over 600 patients, whose lives have been saved or restored through high-quality orthopedic care.  AAOS is on a mission to share these stories, in hopes of encouraging all orthopedic patients to follow suit.  “Through our work, we strive to provide our patients with high-quality care that keeps them and our country “A Nation in Motion.” 

Along with AAOS’s amazing efforts to keep bodies in motion, CastCoverz!‘s mission is to bring relief and comfort to orthopedic patients by providing fun, fashionable, AND functional products; such as cast, brace & splint covers, walking boot covers, designer colored crutches and CrutchWear crutch accessories, in addition to companion products that provide waterproof protection and relief from itch and smell.

Feel Better, Heal Better with CastCoverz! and visit A Nation in Motion’s website to share your story of recovery and what you are able to do because of your orthopedic care.  Whether you are a patient, provider, or orthopedic surgeon, we want to hear your personal story or that of one of your patients.
