Slip buddy® gently over your bandage or cast and pull up gently over your cast or bandage. It’s very flexible.
Pull the corners down to create a smooth seal below your joint. If you are showering you are ready!
When you place your limb into water, buddy® will cling to your cast or bandage and the air will rise. Release the air by gently pulling open the seal before completely submerging.
You can be confident to trust your buddy not to let water in.
Pat dry after use and before removing.
*For best results, wear a sock or tubular bandage if you are using your buddy over a plaster cast. See FAQs.
*Be careful not to puncture your buddy with jewellery and sharp objects. Don’t use scissors or knives to alter your buddy.
*As always, take care on slippery or wet surfaces and ensure the seal of your buddy is wrinkle free. Allow to dry naturally, or use a soft towel. Do not place on a radiator
*Please remember that buddy is not a toy and babies/children must be supervised at all times.
*Careful measurement will ensure your buddy has a watertight and comfortable fit, please see our ABOUT QOL PAGE for more information
* For a best buddy fit the seal should fit snugly round the fleshy part of your limb ie mid-calf, thigh, forearm
How to order your buddy
The buddy® range of products for adult, child and baby are made in different size apertures and lengths.
For your best fit, please measure the circumference of your limb below the joint and above your bandage/cast for a half limb product. For any product required above an elbow or knee joint, for example, measure the fleshy circumference of your limb in cms just above where your bandage or cast ends. This measurement converts into the mm size seal, simply round up to the nearest 10 for your best fit.
Use the Sizing Guides for your chosen product to ensure that you order the right buddy for you.
