Ugly, Uncomfortable, Standard Crutches No More

Having a broken bone in your leg is no fun, but having a non-weight-bearing injury is even worse! “Getting from point A to point B is no longer as easy as getting up and walking where you want to go. You can crawl, hop, or use crutches to help!”, says Skye of Real Mom Reviews. Skye discovered CastCoverz! while searching online for non-squeaking crutches. She was sent a pair of Candy Apple Red crutches (her favorite color) and wrote her review, which you can read in it’s entirety HERE.

Skye was impressed with the vibrant color, speedy shipping, and affordability. Also included were CrutchWear crutch covers and bag (review to come soon), which added comfort, fashion and function to her crutches. CastCoverz! offers functional and fashionable products designed to cover casts, orthotic walking boots, splints, braces, and crutches to comfort orthopedic patients.

As back-to-school time is arriving, keeping our children safe during summer activities, especially avoiding broken bones is at the top of any parent’s list. Annette d. Giacomazzi, Founder and Owner of CastCoverz!, is an expert when it comes to broken bones (and avoiding them!) She has provided some helpful advice on how to keep kids break-free, in their latest press release “Help the Kids Stay Break-Free This Summer.”

Did you know thousands of children are treated for playground related injuries each year? The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons considers these numbers alarming enough to provide the following playground safety tips, in their press release “How Safe is Your Child’s Playground?”

CastCoverz! provides functional and fashionable products designed to cover casts, orthotic walking boots, splints and braces, and companion products; such as CastCooler, DryPro, and CastShield, to bring relief and comfort to orthopedic patients.

In addition to keeping our kids safe during summer activities and on playgrounds specifically, going to and from school and staying safe while at school are just as important! School is where children spend the majority of their time, outside of their own home; thus, the National Crime Prevention Council has provided some advice for parents on making sure their kids stay safe at school and while traveling to and from, in “What Parents Can Do to Keep Kids Safe at School.”

As a parent, we all strive to keep our children as safe as possible. With resources available to us, like those above, keeping our children safe is a very attainable goal!
