A broken wrist has been treated the same way since 1852. Cast21 opens it.
A waterproof, breathable net for wrist and forearm fractures. On in three minutes, set without water or heat, off without a saw.
1852. A Dutch army surgeon wraps a fracture in plaster. Wrap it, seal it, wait, saw it off.
The 1970s. Fiberglass makes it lighter. The six weeks stay the same: itch, sweat, a bag over the arm in the shower.
Cast21. Rigid where the fracture needs it, open everywhere else. Hold the bone. Free the rest.

Windowed for a bone stimulator
Two weeks after surgery for a 24-week non-union, the patient asked for Cast21. It was windowed and used with a bone stimulation device.
Asked for it
“10/10. It's easier to use and my patients actually ask for this more often than anything else.”
Dr. Matt · Founding physician, California
For patients and parents. Swim, shower and sleep without the itch.
The net is waterproof and open to the air, so life carries on while the bone heals. Shower, swim, then let it dry on its own.
“I hopped right in the shower without even thinking twice.”
Mackenzie · Michigan
“No itch, no sweat. I forgot I was wearing it.”
Lynne · Tennessee
“I was hesitant at first, but the x-rays showed nothing moved. I healed perfectly.”
