CastCooler Exports Orthopedic Cast Itch And Odor Relief To Hot/Humid Dubai, UAE
Wearing a cast in the sweltering summer heat and humidity does not have to be a sweaty and stinky experience.

September 13, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Wearing a cast in the sweltering summer heat and humidity does not have to be a sweaty and stinky experience. CastCooler proves how immediate itch and odor relief is at hand even in the most humid and hot environments like Dubai, UAE as expansion accelerates to include 23 countries globally.

/EINPresswire.com/ COLORADO SPRINGS, CO (September 13, 2011) - Cast wearers have long had to endure the summer months with a cast that stinks and itches. Now CastCooler introduces an immediate solution for all cast wearers to the long-standing problems of orthopedic cast odor and itch.

CastCooler is being introduced into the hottest and most humid areas of the world -- Dubai, UAE. After evaluation at local hospitals in Dubai, CastCooler was approved for all patients in an orthopedic cast to relieve long-standing issues of cast itch and odor. Other countries in the Middle East where the CastCooler is available include Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait , Qatar ,Lebanon, and Turkey. This expands the list of countries around the world to 23 that are distributing the CastCooler globally.

CastCooler's patented solution for itch and odor works with all orthopedic casts, does not touch the patient or violate the long-standing rule of cast wearing - "Never Put Anything Down Your Cast!" CastCooler's inventor, Rick Dunagan explains that no changes to the cast application process or materials are needed to use the CastCooler. The CastCooler is designed to provide immediate cast itch and odor relief for all breathable cast materials and all casts: arm, leg, child through adult including hip-spica casts.

The CastCooler is easy to use. The patient wraps the device around the outside of the cast for 10 minutes a day as needed. When a standard household vacuum is connected to the patented CastCooler nozzle, fresh air is rapidly drawn in the open ends of the cast, through the lining, quickly drying perspiration moisture, the primary source of cast itch and odor. When the lining is dry, bacteria growth is inhibited, resulting in a fresh and clean cast, itch and odor free.

Moisture - Cast Enemy #1. Cast wearers are always instructed to "keep your cast dry." That is a tough, if not impossible assignment, since the number one source of cast moisture is perspiration which is ever-present for all cast wearers. As perspiration accumulates in the cast lining, bacteria grow and the orthopedic cast quickly becomes uncomfortable. "It's like wearing a pair of damp socks for a couple of days." states Dunagan. "The ever-present moisture is uncomfortable, stinks and itches and can cause the skin to macerate leading to infection and serious complications. It is so rewarding to talk to customers around the world who are grateful for the immediate relief from itch and odor that the CastCooler brings!"

Recently, a mom captured her son's reaction to using the CastCooler to relieve cast itch and odor for the first time with her iPhone. "This reaction is typical and we are happy to share this testimony on YouTube for others to see."

The national media has also noticed the CastCooler's ability to bring immediate relief to cast itch and odor. Recently, a CBS news affiliate in Fresno, CA ordered a CastCooler to test in their "Does it Work?" segment. "If a picture is worth a thousand words, this video is worth a million!" states Dunagan, "...especially since this was a secret test which we had no idea CBS News was evaluating."
