2ndhand negative review - don't wear it in a hot climate!


After reading this article by Harland Selesnick, in which he states 'Probably the most important statistic from the survey is that 342 of the 344 patients, 99.4%, reported that they would recommend the waterproof liner to other patients who sustained similar injuries.', I asked to have the Gore Procel waterproof castliner for my daughter's broken wrist.  The med tech who was applying the cast recommended strongly against it - he had just had one himself over the summer in Tucson and found it to be extremely uncomfortable as the sweat would not be absorbed but would drip out of the cast.  It was constantly humid and wet inside and he said he would never choose this cast again.  I'm sure the Gore Procel castliner is great for swimmers and is a good choice for some, but the complete lack of negative comments online contrasted with what we heard in person!
