Instructions for Use
Gently stretch open the seal.
Slip your buddy® over your bandage or cast and pull up gently.
Pull the corners down to create a smooth seal below your joint. You are now ready to shower!
For swimming and bathing:
As you lower your limb into the 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. Repeat step 2.
The buddy®-selector
Now measure the leg for the perfect fit!
Short Leg
The short leg is 35 cm in length and covers the toe, foot and ankle. It reaches mid-calf on an adult.
Locate a fleshy part of the limb roughly 4 cm above the bandage or cast (illustrated by the blue, circular arrow in the diagram) and, using a tape measure , measure its circumference in cm, rounding up to the nearest cm. Input that value below and buddy®-selector will recommend the right size if available. For example, for a 33 cm measurement you’ll need the 30 cm – 40 cm Adult buddy® cover (SL/M/40).
