Pad Your Cast With THE CAST PROTECTOR

Do you know someone who has a broken bone in their arm, hand, or wrist and is wearing a cast? Do they play sports and fear their season may be over? THE CAST PROTECTOR is the answer to their fears.

The Cast ProtectorOnce the pain from a broken bone subsides, if the sport in question allows it, and the doctor feels it is safe, THE CAST PROTECTOR helps pad the cast, allowing those wearing a cast to play, by providing a professionally made, easy to apply protector for the cast. Whether or not to play sports with a fracture is a decision that must be made carefully. A physician, parent, coach, and player should all participate in and understand the reasoning for the decision, as well as the risks involved. THE CAST PROTECTOR does not decrease the risk of re-injury, it primarily protects other players from contact with a stiff, rough cast. The CAST PROTECTOR is made in the USA and has been approved by the National Federation of State High School Associations.

Keeping Our Children Safe and Break Free

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!
