Patient Comments
Would you recommend the GORE PROCEL® Cast Liner? Why?

Because you could get it wet and keep it clean. It was comfortable. It also didn't get an odor.

It was great to be able to get the cast wet and not to have to cover the arm while showering.

Great product. Saved my sanity. And I didn't have itching like old casts.

Yes, yes, yes. It was well worth the extra $. It enabled [patient] to swim during the summer. It saved his summer.

Complete freedom to maintain normal lifestyle and keep working under sanitary conditions.

Very comfortable. Never felt hot. It never itched and felt like it could breathe.

Absolutely - would not have been able to perform job without it.

I am on a swim team and could still train while my wrist was healing.

Absolutely! Nothing beats a "real" shower.

It's good for athletes to help rehab from injury.

Kids get dirty and need to bathe and it's too hard keeping [a cast] dry.

I will never go back to a standard cast again.

Should be standard practice.

I live alone and would have had an extremely difficult time coping with activities of daily living without your padding.

I have three small children and it would have been horrible trying to cope with their baths (and my own).

Health Care Professional Comments
Would you recommend GORE PROCEL® Cast Liner? Why?

When the cast was removed there wasn't any scabby, awful look. We thought [Cast Liner] performed well.

I highly recommend this cast to all my patients.

Patient is in the medical field and ends up washing her hands about 50 times a day. Skin looks great - no odor.

Impressive skin condition without dead skin build up.

I didn't believe it could dry as fast and the skin remain in such good condition despite being as wet as some of these kids say they kept the cast.

Skin looked good; dry, no pressure spots. I have a very happy 14-year-old boy whose summer was not interrupted due to a broken radius. Thanks.

Requested another cast with [GORE PROCEL® Cast Liner] since we put him into another thumb spica. He didn't care what the cost was!

Looked good - foot got a little bit scaly - dead skin on bottom of foot, but better than a regular cast.

Patient used cast during regular training in pool, tri-athlete with stress fracture to foot, great results with cast lining, used patient for channel 9 news story.

Patient had an Achilles tendon repair; stated he would sweat quite a bit in regular cast so we used [GORE PROCEL® Cast Liner] with excellent results.

Is a wonderful product. [Patient] lives alone and was able to scrub her own floors and do her own dishes.

The patients are having fun in their casts now. That says it all!

After 2 weeks, absolutely no sign of casting, skin in wonderful condition, patient enjoyed trying this material.

Very nice product for friable skin.

It is a pleasure to remove casts without wanting an oxygen breathing apparatus.
