GORE® PROCEL® Cast Liner will allow your skin and cast to dry by evaporation. Do not cover your cast while it is drying. You may experience a cooling sensation as water vapor passes out through the Liner and cast. No special drying procedures are necessary after wetting, but you may want to lightly towel off the excess water on the outside and ends of your cast. Do not insert a towel or other objects inside the cast or use heat to dry it.NOTE: To accelerate the drying process in a short leg cast, point the foot toward the ground to drain excess water from the heel pocket.
GORE® PROCEL® Cast Liner contains billions of tiny pores that stop the passage of liquid water, but allow water vapor to pass through. Water does not wet the Liner, only your skin. Most of the water will drain quickly out the ends of your cast. After a few minutes, the water on your skin will become warm from your body heat and start to evaporate. The water vapor will then pass slowly through the Liner and out through your fiberglass cast.NOTE: If you have a plaster cast, your cast must be kept dry at all times.
