Engineers Make Breathable And Waterproof Cast To Replace Plaster Casts And Stop Itching
No more worries, here you now have a waterproof arm cast!
People on planet Earth fall into two major categories: The fragile bones and the ones with bones of steel. And as many of us know, breaking a leg or an arm is a terrible experience. It’s constant pain, and the discomfort of having to put on a plaster cast can really be horrible.
Nevertheless, a group of engineers from Chicago, aimed at making the lives of people who easily break their arms and legs much easier have created a breathable and waterproof cast.
Hence, no more showering with a trash bag over your cast!
