Moisture transport cast lining material for use beneath an orthopedic cast, being in the form of a fabric and consisting essentially of synthetic hydrophobic fibers or a blend of synthetic hydrophobic fibers and a second different fiber

Patent number: 5540964

Abstract: A cast lining fabric is prepared from hydrophilic synthetic material. The cast lining transports moisture from the skin and environment beneath a cast to the outside environment where the moisture is removed by evaporation providing a dry atmosphere beneath the cast. The resulting dry environment reduces the ill effects of bacterial, fungal and mildew growth, reduces odor, increases dryness and comfort, and allows the wearer to bathe and swim.
