Keep Dressings Dry – Thanks to Reinforced Neoprene Seal
Reinforced neoprene forms a watertight barrier around the largest part of the dressing, with material elasticity allowing stretch up to 40 cm to accommodate bandages. The seal is manufactured to resist water pressure encountered during showering.
A secure seal prevents water ingress during showers, protecting light dressings from getting wet and reducing the risk of infection.
Easy On and Off – With a Self-supporting Flexible Seal
Flexible sealing material is self-supporting so the cover holds its shape during application and removal. The design enables users to slide the cover over the foot and ankle without external support.
Quick application helps users with limited mobility manage showering independently and reduces reliance on carers.
Gentle on Circulation – With Non-constrictive, Durable Material
Soft, non-constrictive construction avoids tight compression around the ankle while durable materials withstand repeated use. The design is suitable for people with circulatory concerns and long-term recovery needs.
Comfortable fit lowers the chance of restricted blood flow and provides reliable protection across multiple uses during recovery.
