The
Cast Skate is an innovative
mobility device that quickly
and easily attaches to a foot cast and allows the wearer
to walk short distances, pivot in and out of vehicles and
use restrooms without the aid of crutches.
The creator of the
Cast Skate, Bob Bentivegna tells us, "I realized the need
for a product such as this when I was wearing a cast.
I designed this cushioned support that keeps the injured
foot elevated and keeps the vast majority of one's body
weight on the uninjured foot. The attached straps
ensure a secure and stable fit and the Cast Skate
works on either foot. It is a practical accessory
which allows users to pivot off the cast when crutches
are not being used such as in restrooms, while taking
showers, etc.
The Cast Skate is ideal for the elderly and for
children who often find it difficult to navigate with a
pair of crutches. The air cushion allows the
user to stand or walk short distances with practically no
stress on the injured foot, which is necessary for
recovery and healing."
Features a non-skid sole.
Inflatable air cushion can be adjusted according to the
needs of the patient.
Resilient foam inserts help distribute patients weight
for comfort & balance.
Impact resistant vinyl construction helps protect foot
during the healing process.
Minimizes stress on injured foot while standing or
walking.
The
Cast Skate can be made available in both adult and
children's sizes. The heavy duty rubberized
sole and cushioned support helps anyone in a
cast walk short distances and pivot without crutches
and without injury to the foot. In fact it is a
protective barrier for the foot and toes.
Many hospitals and doctors now realize the
benefits of keeping the patient moving and walking on
weight-bearing casts. Wounds can heal faster and
muscles will atrophy less. The Cast Skate
encourages patients to be more mobile while
allowing them to be more comfortable.
