For patients
Heal without hitting pause
A Gero cast is made for you: lighter than plaster, water resistant and in the colour you choose.
Personalized
Every cast is designed from a 3D scan of your own limb, for maximum comfort and fit while you heal.
Increased mobility
Thin and light, so everyday activities stay easier while you wear it.
A traditional plaster cast weighs 1.5 to 2 kilograms. Ours weighs about 60 grams.
Skin-friendly
Printed from a biocompatible material that is gentle on the skin.
Water resistant
Shower and swim while wearing your cast. Check with your doctor first.
Easy removal
The cast can be removed easily, without an electric saw.

Care tips
- 1
Dry it gently
After showering or swimming, dry the cast with a fan on a low-temperature setting.

Clean with soap and water
Wash the cast gently with regular soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners.

Talk to your clinic
If the cast becomes uncomfortable or is damaged, contact your clinic or orthopedic specialist. They'll arrange an adjustment or a replacement with us.

Follow your doctor
Your doctor decides what activity is right for your injury. Ask before swimming or sport.
