Cast cover and method of use

A method of using an orthopedic cast cover for covering an orthopedic cast of a user, the method comprising:

• providing an orthopedic cast cover including a tubular portion for covering the orthopedic cast, a distal portion including a thumb hole for receiving a thumb of the user and an oval finger opening for receiving fingers of the user, and separate, spaced, parallel, elongated, linear, tubular finger separators spanning the oval finger opening between two opposite points on the circumference of the finger opening and adapted to extend between adjacent fingers in V-shaped portions formed between the fingers without surrounding the circumference of the fingers;
• inserting at least one of an arm and wrist cast through the orthopedic cast cover so that the separate, spaced, parallel, elongated, linear, tubular finger separators extend between adjacent fingers in the V-shaped portions formed between the fingers of the user's hand without surrounding the circumference of the fingers;
• and
• absorbing moisture and soil in the V-shaped sections between the fingers with the separate, spaced, parallel, elongated, linear, tubular finger separators, thereby inhibiting development of skin lesions between the fingers.
