LimbO Waterproof Protectors Cast and Dressing Cover - Adult Half Leg (M80S: 41-54 cm Above Knee Circ. (Under 5’5))

Strong product that is easy to use and really does prevent water going onto the rest of the leg - even though it might not feel like it. After reading the instructions and a bit of practice it is quite easy to put on and remove.

I bought the Limbo cast and dressing cover after a recommendation from another user. It has completely taken the stress out of showering or bathing whilst attempting to keep a dressing dry following surgery. It is completely water resistant and leak proof and I would highly recommended it. It is approved by the NHS and is British made. Well worth the investment.

My teenage daughter was involved in a serious road accident just before xmas. Her injuries include a severely broken lower right leg which pinned and plated. Due to other injuries (ankle and pelvis) she cannot bear weight on her right leg (despite the pin) for at least 6 weeks. This restricts her mobility enough to make showers awkward. We were initially advised to use try bin bags and tape to keep the cast dry. This had limited success, even if the tape does not peel away there was always some leakage, it is a fiddly process and has to be applied carefully, we would have to do that before she moved to the shower room.Bin bags and tape are cheaper but time-consuming, fiddly, prone to tearing, wasteful and ultimately far more likely to leak.On an outpatient visit we asked in the plaster room what the secret was to keeping the casts dry, and the nurse said "oh go with Limbo, they're not that expensive and if you use them right you'll have no problems." She was spot on. The limbo half-leg cover pulls on easily enough that my daughter can move to the stool in the shower and pull it on there, she can fit it on her own and trust that the seal won't let her down with a few simple checks. Just that little bit of independence is a big deal to a 16-year old that doesn't really want her parents fussing around.Limbo is relatively cheap (we paid slightly more via amazon than via direct, but it gave me prime next day delivery which was worthwhile), it is well made, unlikely to tear if treated properly. The seal is very similar to the seal of my diving drysuit, used well, no water will be getting in. It is reusable, simply peg it up someplace dry. Fantastic product.

Very useful and waterproof!

Needed to protect both an operation scar and medical stockings they did the job very well. Good quality material and build, but easy to put on and take off, which is a big plus with leg / knee operations.

Firstly, a note to Amazon - You really need to sort out the description for this product and should know better. A note to potential purchasers - Beware!There are three products advertised, if only accidentally, here. To see the pictures and descriptions of each select from the dropdown menu as follows:Default product (surprise surprise) is M80 Weight: 10-16st & shows you information on Homecraft Cast and Dressing Leg Protector Dispatched from and sold by AmazonLarge is Limbo Waterproof Limb Cast Protector Below Knee for Adults Slim Size Dispatched from and sold by LifePharmacy Online.Slim is Limbo Waterproof Limb Cast Protector Below Knee for Adults Large Size Dispatched from and sold by LifePharmacy Online.There are reviews for each but there are more favourable ones for Homecraft Cast and Dressing Leg Protector Dispatched from and sold by AmazonI ended up at Amazon after some detailed research and checking out local providers - this was the best reviewed product (& some alternatives are not great). Boots lists the Homecraft product but they could not deliver (in any way). I have a torn Achilles tendon, am currently in a cast and will be on crutches for several months it seems. I can't afford to waste money on a product that won't last, and this was the best reviewed everywhere. BUT - Here's the problem. What actually arrived was a LimbO Waterproof Protection for Casts and Dressings. The M80 Weight: 10-16st description is gobbledegook lifted from the label and actually they would have been better picking out Standard Build for the dropdown. The LimbO web site ([...]) has quite a comprehensive way of selecting the correct size - more by luck I have selected the right one - M80. I would have to work through all options to know how many there actually are - it may be only Slim, Medium (M80?) & Large.Anyway after all that, my LimbO Standard Build Adult Half Leg Waterproof Protection for Casts and Dressings has been excellent in the four days (and so four showers) I have owned it. It is basically a bag made of similar strengthened material to some dry bags with a single lined neoprene cuff at the top, with the unlined side closest to the skin. Following the instructions is easy and common sense really. It seems tough enough to last a while and I intend to care for it well, as per the instructions.Combine this with a plank I have made to go across the bath and sit on and I can now shower properly, if slowly. I have no intention of swimming in it, except that I may use it to go sailing later this year whilst transferring in to the dinghy, but that will depend on many things.Given my recent injury this has made my life a great deal better. I'll add to this review in a few weeks if necessary. At the moment I would buy this again.Update: 27th October 2015.I'm glad people are finding this review useful - any benefit from my own misfortune for others can only be good. I used this to shower long after the cast came off and to go over the orthopedic boot that I had to wear for some 8 weeks.My tendon was only painful on three occasions (once I'd torn it in the first place), they being: having wrapped the cast in the duvet whilst I slept & pulled in my sleep (Ow!); when I slipped in the bath while showering and whacked my leg against the side (Ow - sobering); & when they finally took the cast off (OOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!). I decided that the bath was the highest risk area of my new life hopping, so for some weeks kept the boot on in the shower (bath) for protection and used this thing to cover it. Tight fit, but did the job. Changed my life. 19 months after my injury, I only think about my dodgy leg about once a day & the only thing left to get back to doing is surfing my long board (and get back on the skateboard that I was using when I injured myself). A "friend" who told me early on (to my horror) that after 2 years I'd have forgotten all about it was about right.True story.

I purchased a Limbo following ankle surgery to allow me to wash/ shower without the worry of my cast getting wet. It was so easy to get on/ off each time, very good quality and, most importantly, waterproof. I used the size guide before ordering and it was a perfect fit!

Great product. Does what it says on the tin

Would recommend the Limbo waterproof leg cover 100% It was easy to slip over the foot and the seal at the top ensured that not one drop of moisure leaked inside. Made showering a breeze.

This make’s showering so easy without the worry of getting leg, bandages wet. Easy & fast to put on.Highly recommend this brand and product. My doctor recommended this brand and I’m glad I bought it.

En mi caso, operación de pie y pierna, con 2 heridas con puntos que no podía mojar en un mes. Ya va a hacer el mes que estoy usando este protector, y no puedo más que recomendarle. Se pone de una manera fácil, la silicona se ajusta a la pierna (en mi caso por encima de la rodilla) y no entra nada de agua. Al principio me daba miedo que pudiera entrar agua, pero después viendo cómo «funcionaba» me estoy duchando con total confianza. Para quitarlo, hay que dar un par de vueltas a la silicona, y luego sale muy bien, y lo que es más importante, la pierna totalmente seca!Dudé entre otras opciones que había el doble de caras, pero ésta fue sin duda una buena elección!

Ich musste leider wegen Unfall trägen ein Gips. Produkt ist genau wie beschrieben . Wasserfest. Nach duschen Gips ist trocken und ist sehr leicht zum anziehen und ausziehen.

then this is for you! Works perfectly - many wet showers with dry casts later, I can give the product and the seller an A+
