OrthoConnecticut Now Offers Waterproof Lattice Mesh-like Arm Casts

OrthoConnecticut now offers Cast21 lightweight, waterproof, and comfortable lattice mesh-like arm casting in fun colors designed for an active lifestyle. This upgraded cast alternative is now available to our patients in the Danbury, Darien, Norwalk, Ridgefield, Southbury, and Westport offices.



The many benefits of this innovative cast include no longer having to deal with a cast that is itchy, smelly, or uncomfortable, and does not need to be cut off with a saw (unlike traditional casting). As if being waterproof wasn’t enough of an advantage the fact that physicians no longer need a saw is a big plus for children (and adults) who can be apprehensive of the saw.

What’s more is that Cast21 can be applied in as short a time as 3-minutes. It molds quickly and cures fast so our patients have a shorter, easier visit. The waterproof and breathable nature of the lattice structure also helps prevent infections and skin complications.

We’re pleased that OrthoConnecticut patients can heal with a more comfortable option and still maintain an active lifestyle. No more needing to cover your cast with a plastic bag to bathe or sitting out summer pool parties. Cast 21 is a welcome addition to improving our patients everyday life while recovering comfortably.
