SPECIFIC BENEFITS OF LimbCoat

  • Unique Material Seam 
    Guarantees no leakage along the seam
  • Non Restrictive Adjustable Seal 
    A soft easy to work with seal material (hole where injured limb is inserted) allows for excess air to be easily released, so that a watertight seal will be achieved allowing the product to fit snugly on the injured limb
  • Easy to apply and remove 
    The soft non restrictive seal material (hole where injured limb is inserted), along with the lightweight & soft material of LimbCoat allows for easy application and removal
  • Comfortable 
    It is easy to move when LimbCoat is worn as the material is light-weight and soft, allowing the product to imitate a “second skin” around the injured limb once all the excess air is released
  • Durable 
    Anticipated three month period of use from date of purchase. However LimbCoat can last longer if the instructions of care are adhered to
  • Hypo Allergenic 
    All Limbcoat materials are latex free, therefore no allergic reactions should be experienced by the users of this product
  • Fully Submersible 
    LimbCoat is fully submersible making it suitable for gentle swimming in a swimming pool or the sea
  • Wear Time 
    Due to the snug fit that LimbCoat achieves, it is suggested that the LimbCoat only be worn for 12 to 15min per session as trapped air becomes warm. However by releasing the warm air and checking the seal, one can wear LimbCoat for much longer, especially when taking a relaxing bath or swim
  • Concise Range 
    LimbCoat is available in adult, child and toddler ranges for legs and arms. Other LimbCoats available: Picc Line, Isolated Wound Protector and Stump Protector
