The LimbO protector is a comfortable, easy-to-use, reusable waterproof protector which can be completely submerged. It is a self-sealing, self supporting garment which prevents the penetration of water to plaster casts and wound dressings on arms and legs during bathing. It is simple and comfortable to use and will last through the average user’s duration of treatment. It provides a significant quality of life improvement for the user. It is a non-sterile product and is primarily intended for use in a bath or shower.
As the LimbO is robust and waterproof it can be used for swimming or in hydro pools provided some basic common sense precautions are taken. It enables the user to enjoy the benefits and healing properties of water whilst ensuring their wound, dressing or plaster remains dry.
LimbO comes in a range of sizes for adults and children. It is currently used in over 500 UK hospitals and clinics and widely throughout Australia.
The LimbO waterproof protector is designed so that in Orthopaedic applications, with normal use, it will last through the period a cast should be worn. On average eight weeks.
In wound care it will last longer as it will be used in a less aggressive environment (i.e. dressing instead of cast) and patients have reported satisfactory use for periods over one year.
Australian Standards have been developed to ensure equipment meets recognised safety and reliability criteria. To achieve this status, equipment must pass a series of tests in which it is put under difficult conditions that are designed to be similar to those that the child or adult may face when the equipment is used. For example, wheelchairs are tested for safhas gained Australian Standard acceptance, it provides a sense of satisfaction and reassurance that it is safe to be used and will do the job.
