Everything You Need to Know About the Cast Pack
If you've had a nasty accident, injury, or operation, you'll know how difficult it can be to get relief from pain. While it's a well-known fact that ice can help injuries heal and reduce pain and inflammation, many people rely on medication for pain relief. This is because applying an ice pack to a cast will have no effect. The cast is so thick that you won't be able to feel the cooling sensation through the plaster.
The solution is the cast pack, a freezable ice pack that can be easily inserted into a cast. Let's look at the advantages of using a cast pack!
What is the cast pack?
Joseph Hamad invented the cast pack to provide instant relief to aching bones, itches, swelling and inflammation, and pain. Hamad came up with the idea of the cast pack after suffering from a ruptured Achilles heel. After surgery, he had a cast placed over his foot, ankle, and calf. The operation caused a lot of pain and inflammation, which began to itch and was at times unbearable. Nothing seemed to help the pain and itching, Hamad created an early prototype of the cast pack.
One of the problems people with casts have is that they cannot apply ice directly to their skin. Putting an ice pack on the cast is unlikely to bring much relief, as you won't be able to feel its beneficial effects through the plaster. The calf pack can be easily slid inside the cast so that it's touching the skin. It has a cloth barrier to help avoid frostbite from developing.
The advantages of the cast pack
The cast pack provides instant relief from pain, inflammation, cramping, itching, and swelling. Many people who have to wear a cast end up taking over the counter pain medication to ease pain associated with injury. These can become addictive. A better solution is to use the cast pack to apply ice to the injury.
The cast pack can be kept in the freezer when not in use; it's available in various sizes and shapes so that it can fit into a cast. The cast pack comes with a soft sleeve to make things more comfortable and has an inbuilt handle for easy removal.
