Purchased this for my roommate, who had a below-the-knee amputation last year. We had asked his doctors, nurses, rehab therapists, and the company who made the leg if there was anything we could use for the pool. Nobody gave him any options. Finally found the drypro website. The product works absolutley as advertised. The latex is very thick, with a textured bottom on the foot portion, for better traction. He's had no issues using this product, at all. Keeps the leg perfectly dry, which is all we could ask for. When this one wears out, whenever that will be, we'll definitely replace it with another one. There is some cheaper stuff out there, but we won't bother with anything inferior. This is the best!
We purchased this for my fiancé who recently moved here to Florida. Prior to this produce he would avoid getting in the water. He lost his left lower leg 30 years ago when he was 19. I read the reviews that questioned the length and it being to long. Don't worry, we thought he same thing and it fit perfectly!!!! We also learned that pulling it off and leaving it inside-out really assists in putting it back on because you can slide it over the prosthetic easier. We highly recommend this product!!!!
When fitted for my below-knee prosthesis, I asked if there was a water-proof cover I could purchase to cover the leg for the shower. He saisd he was not aware of any, but most amputees use trash bags. I had tried that and never got a good seal. when I found the DryPro Leg Cover on Amazon, I had high hopes of being able to shower and even swim with the grandchildren in the lake. I have been very pleased with this cover and am buying a second one to have on my pontoon boat. It seals very well for showering, and while bulky in the foot, I am able to wear Crocs to have additional protection in case I step on something in the lake that could puncture the cover. Excellent product!
tight, tight, this is my third and it is by far the tightest although it is the same size! they work but wear out.
Great for swimming or showering.
Feature Product
- 1. Circumference: 17"-21" (43-53 cm) ** If measuring a circumference right at 17" it is better to size down to ensure the product stays waterproof.
- 2. Length: 38" (97 cm) ** If the cover is too long simply bunch up the extra material and pump out all the air. The extra latex will shrink down and conform to the shape of the users prosthetic removing all extra length.
- 3. PL-17
- 4. Watch the video at the top for sizing help
- 5. WARNING - Do not use if unable to create a snug vacuum seal.
Description
Completely waterproof patented protection for prosthetic legs. Comes with pump to remove air and create a vacuum-seal. Once air is removed, drypro can't be taken off unintentionally and water can't get inside. Bathe, shower, or even swim without worry of infection or damage to prosthetic leg.
Excellent product. This should be available in all medical supply stores as well as online.
love it
I just want to thank drycorp for creating this. The drypro only takes a minute to slip on and pump the air out. And it definitely saved me from taping my leg up in a trash bag and ripping out the hair trying to get out of the bag. Thanks again.
I can now stand up in the shower. I had to stay seated before, but now I can shower like a regular person.
Worked really good in ocean no leaks
