SPICA CAST CARE
Keeping the cast dry is very important. It prevents
skin irritation and breakdown. It also prevents
the cast from smelling.
These steps and supplies have proven to be effective
in preventing urine and stool from staining the
cast.
- Place a maxi pad up under the cast, both
front and back.
- Next fit a newborn diaper under the cast,
tucked in the front, back and
the sides.
- Place a larger sized diaper over top of the
cast (Size #6).
It is very important to change the maxi pad
and the inside diaper very frequently. They must
be changed much more frequently than normal diapers
must be changed. Do not allow them to go more
than 2 hours at one sitting during the day without
a change.
Please call our office at 404-321-9900 if there
are any questions or concerns.
