  • Patent number: 10517769
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and devices related to a cast portal. The cast portal can be for enabling selective access through a medical cast to a body part covered by the medical cast.

The illustrative cast portal can also include an outer housing that defines the bounds of the interior portion. The outer housing can include a top end configured to be positioned distal to the body part covered by the medical cast. The outer housing can also include a bottom end configured to be positioned proximate to the body part covered by the medical cast. The illustrative cast portal can also include a protrusion extending radially outwardly from the outer housing and configured to mechanically couple with the medical cast for attaching the device to the medical cast.
