XeroSox Stay Dry Pump

XeroSox^® : Safe... and FUN!

Safe:  No leaks!

With the patented vacuum seal, XeroSox^® is the only protector that cannot leak. XeroSox^® fits snugly and comfortably, telling you that it is maintaining an airtight, absolutely waterproof seal before you even get in the water. There are no surprises. You feel this watertight seal while you are showering, bathing, or even swimming and splashing about. It fits so well, you can’t even pull it off!

You know that it isn’t leaking because you can feel it!

All other cast protectors are loose bags that just try to keep water out with a tight cuff.  You can’t tell if they are leaking or not, and when they move around or slip down, you get a leak.  Not good enough.

Safe:  Nonslip sole.

The unique nonslip molded sole is specially designed for smooth, wet, slippery surfaces. And because the nonslip tread is fitted snugly against the foot and cast, there is no slipping around inside XeroSox^® either. The foot covered with XeroSox^® actually has much better traction and stability than your bare foot.

Other cast protectors are incredibly slippery on wet surfaces, and also allow the foot and cast to slip and slide freely inside the loose bag. You basically have to balance on the uncovered “good” foot which is not a safe situation, especially when you are already recovering from an injury.

XeroSox^® Uses:

Plaster casts – water simply destroys a plaster cast, and the wet skin underneath becomes macerated and breaks down.

Fiberglass casts – if you get a fiberglass cast wet, it stays wet and cold for hours afterwards. And it gets your clothes wet too!

PICC line protection – preventing PICC line infection is serious business, and keeping it clean and dry is essential.

External fixation, healing wounds – must be kept clean and dry to prevent infection.

Prosthesis protection – easier than prosthesis removal, and you can stand up in the shower, or in the waves.

Durable:  Molded in one piece.

No seams or welds – built to last, each size is molded in one piece of heavy duty surgical latex, including the nonslip tread. 

How good water feels!

Shower, bathe, swim, hydrotherapy, go to the beach.

What feels better than water?

So go ahead,

Get wet… keep clean and DRY!

Measuring for the XeroSox®

1) Measure Limb Circumference
Arm: Measure the circumference of the arm about two inches above (proximal to) the cast or bandage. If the end of the cast is very close to the elbow, measure mid upper arm (bicep).

Do not measure around the cast, but around the bare arm or leg as in the photo.

Leg: Measure the circumference of the leg just above the cast or bandage. If the end of the cast is very close to the knee, measure mid thigh.

2) Measure Length
Arm: Measure from the tip of the middle finger to where the circumference was measured (in step 1).

Leg: Measure from the back of the heel to where the circumference was measured. For younger children the full arm and full leg XeroSox® offer the best fit; measure from their mid bicep or mid thigh. Don't worry if the XeroSox® is longer than it needs to be. Move the extra length to the middle of the limb, the excess material will just shrink in on itself when the vacuum is created.

3) Use Size Charts
Using the size charts select the XeroSox® size that is right for you or your patient.

The circumference is more important than the length because it is critical for a good seal.

*Note the half arms and half legs are not normally used for children. Pediatric patients almost always use full arm or leg XeroSox®.

The circumference measurement is very important for proper sizing, excess length is not a problem.
