Relief for Cast Itch & Odor - for Breathable, Fiberglass Casts, Braces & Splints, Including Spica Casts - Vacuum Effect - Dries Moisture - One Size - Fits Adults & Kids - Made in The USA

I was a little hesitant after reading some reviews about how thin or cheap it seems, it don’t let that fool you. It was the BEST investment made during our daughters time in a cast. No problem trying to stick stuff in cast to scratch, this kept her skin dry so it rarely itched. We took a handheld vacuum on vacation with us (harder to use, but a lifesaver in 90deg heat). When connected to regular vacuum, able to move (or play on tablet) without problems, very easy to use! Her cast had faint odor when it was removed, not the typical smell I was expecting. I recommend this to anyone that has a cast! It is a little pricey, but well worth it to us.(I don’t know how some people get discount for review, but I paid full price.... this thing is worth it)

This item was obviously used and incomplete. It was missing the vinyl wrap, the box was taped up with scotch tape and there is grime on the nozzle! So gross

My 12 yr old son broke his arm during the hotter months. After a few days of having the cast on he began to complain about the itching. We both got little sleep. He was also outside a lot by the ball fields since he broke it during baseball season and he is a ball player. It was impossible trying to keep him away. We were worried about all the dust in the cast. The cast cooler offered him immediate relief from the itching and it cooled it right away. He was so so excited when it was first put on. I felt it helped with the dirt and dust inside the cast because of the vacuum system. We used our hose attachment which is quite powerful. I woul definitely recommend this product. After we began using it every night before bed, my son and I finally slept again. It really does relieve the discomfort by putting air through the cast. My son described it as its like in the spot where it is on, it like there is no cast. My only recommendation for the company is to make a bigger one. My son had a full arm cast and we had to keep moving it up the arm to get the full arm done. But its an awesome product.

This CastCooler is amazing! My husband had surgery on his foot and was in a cast for about 6 weeks. His feet get warm easily as it is, but with the cast, his foot was getting warm to the point of extreme discomfort. We heard about this product on our local news and thought we would try it. Are we glad we did! Not only is this product easy to use, but it absolutely does what it says. Just wrap the cast cooler around the cast, place the vacuum cleaner hose to it, turn on the vacuum, and get ready for instant relief! It will magically suck out all of the warmth and condensation from the inside of the cast. Although it is very easy to use, please note that the CastCooler wrap does not stick to itself when you wrap it around the cast. You must place the hose on the CastCooler and turn on the vacuum. The suction from the vacuum will then "shrink" the wrap to the cast. Once the vacuum is turned off, the CastCooler will release itself from the cast. We highly recommend this product.

When I received this, I thought "really, that's it?". (It's such a simple thing - blue stretchy stuff, plus a white funnel type thing.) BUT when I put it on my son's cast, and hooked it up to the vacuum, he was SO thrilled!!This REALLY does provide the relief someone in a cast is looking for! It moves the air, creating a cooler and drier environment inside the cast. It is instant relief, and brought a smile to my son's face (and he's not a smiling kid in general). :-) He had been complaining of "stinging" and itching (inside of his cast - probably because he gets sweaty), and he says that this completely relieves it. Yay!!Maybe I didn't read the description, or maybe I just missed something in what I was reading, but... I didn't realize that this needed to be hooked up to a vacuum. It's a bit fiddly to have to hold the vacuum hose to this, and obviously it's loud (hearing your vacuum humming while you have this on your cast), but IT'S WORTH IT.P.S. This company ships quickly and provides excellent customer service. I wish I wouldn't have paid extra for faster shipping - it would've shipped out (and arrived) ASAP regardless. Plus, Amazon had a bit of a glitch with the shipping speed. As I placed the order, it said it would arrive on Saturday (with 2 day shipping). After the order was placed, it said it would arrive on Monday (with 2 day shipping). I was NOT happy about that. I talked with the CastCooler people the next morning - they were VERY nice and helpful (and they had already shipped it out) - and they said it's an Amazon glitch (with telling the date it would arrive with my 2 day shipping). So bummer on Amazon on that one. But it was still worth the price, because the CastCooler is THAT good.

For what it is, this is incredibly overpriced. I knew that when I purchased it. However, it does function as intended WHEN you can get it to stay in place. The ability to apply this device one handed is impossible. You have to have someone else assist you if you have a broken hand/arm. It has to be physically held down during the entire duration of use. It has nothing to secure it to the cast. It works amazing if you can get it to stay in place, but I wouldn't recommend purchasing this device if you have a cast on your arm and nobody readily available or willing to frequently assist you. I do have buyers remorse and regret the purchase. A little more thought should have been put into how this device is going to be held on an arm cast with one hand free. I suppose if you are using this on your leg it would be more feasible and worth it.

It seems that this item is a little pricey for what it consists of. It did however provide some soothing relief for our son when his arm was in a cast. It did not do much to alleviate odor, but it cooled his arm and dried out the cast when it was sweaty, and he liked the sensation of the cool air when he had itches. It wasn't a cure-all, but it was a useful tool to get through the difficulty of wearing a cast.
