You, your child, your player or your friend has broken their arm and is now in a cast. Never a good thing, there still may be a way to compete. Once the pain subsides and the doctor feels it is safe some sports allow individuals to pad the cast and play.
 
My concern for the safety of those who attempt to participate in potentially contact sports with a cast was the lack of a readily applied cast pad  that would be the same each day and provide the amount of protection specified by the National Federation of State of High School Associations and the NCAA in their football rules. This seems to be a reasonable standard. So far referees all over the country have agreed.

The newest 9 inch size is intended for smaller youth players. The quarter inch pad provides protection without bulk, but it is not intended for high school or college use.  It was developed in response to the many requests from parents of youth soccer or football players for a smaller size. 

THE CAST PROTECTOR accomplishes this goal by providing a professionally made, easy to apply pad for the cast.
Whether or not to play sports with a fracture is a decision that must be made carefully. A physician, parent and player should all participate in, and understand the reasoning for the decision as well as the risks involved.

So far THE CAST PROTECTOR has been used in nearly every state in football (all age groups), soccer, rugby and hockey. It is also applicable to field hockey and lacrosse.

It can be used to cover casts for broken wrists, hands and fingers. This would include the distal radius, wrist(carpal) bones metacarpals and phalanges.

Using THE CAST PROTECTOR  does not prevent injury. It is an attempt to simplify and make uniform the process of padding a cast after an injury has occurred. It in no way decreases the risks of play. It is in fact primarily to protect the other competitors from injury resulting from the hard cast.

Fractures of the hand, wrist and distal forearm are among the most common injuries treated by orthopedic surgeons. Simple fractures often require a short arm cast or a thumb spica cast.  Immediately after any fracture there is a period of time ( usu]ally about a week) when pain alone prevents participation. Once this phase has passed and the physician feels the fracture is stable, i.e. will not move, he or she may feel that return to play is reasonable. A cast pad or sleeve is required to participate in contact sports. THE CAST PROTECTOR can help. Everyone concerned ( athletes, parents, doctor , trainer , coach) must understand the benefits and risks involved in resuming play. Usually  a written  release from the physician  is required for the athlete to return to play.
Please show THE CAST PROTECTOR to your physician.
