Cast portal

A device for enabling selective access through a medical cast to a body part covered by the medical cast, the device comprising:

• an interior portion that extends through an entire longitudinal length of the device;
• an outer housing that defines the bounds of the interior portion and includes:
• a top end configured to be positioned distal to the body part covered by the medical cast;
• and
• a bottom end configured to be positioned proximate to the body part covered by the medical cast;
• wherein the top end of the outer housing is configured to removably couple with a cap for selectively enclosing the interior portion of the device, and wherein the top end has a smaller diameter than an internal portion of the cap for enabling the cap to receive the top end of the outer housing of the device;
• and
• a protrusion extending radially outwardly from the outer housing and configured to mechanically couple with the medical cast for attaching the device to the medical cast, wherein the device is configured to account for one or more physical characteristics of the body part, over which the device will lie;
• wherein the interior portion of the outer housing is configured to surround a medical component, such that the medical component is positionable within the interior portion of the device;
• wherein the medical component is selected from the group consisting of a pin, a clamp, a rod, a medical tool, stitches, an adhesive, a bandage, and gauze.
