LimbO Waterproof Protection for Light Foot Dressing. M25 Fits Ankle 26-34 cm Circumference. Suitable for Shower Only.…

Purchased this after foot surgery as I needed to keep the dressing dry. I was a little worried it might not be 100% water proof,however the limbo kept the dressing completely dry every time. It’s not super long but will cover 6 or so inches above the ankle so perfect for post op foot surgery. Fits snugly around ankle and easy to put on and remove. There are cheaper versions out there but this is well worth the price and does exactly what was needed. Make sure that you measure your ankle/ lower calf to get the correct size. I would recommend this product and am completely satisfied with its claim to be totally waterproof.

After two separate operations on my foot, and one on my knee, I can honestly say that these covers have been a lifesaver. The ability to have a proper shower very soon after major surgery, with no risk of leaving the wound or dressing area wet, and therefore subject to infection, is very reassuring, not to mention a huge boost to morale. The combination of light weight woven cover material, plus a black rubber/silicon waterproofing seal is very effective, not to mention comfortable and pretty much slip proof. Points worth noting –1. They don’t last forever, two months if used on a daily basis seems to be normal.2. They air dry rapidly.3. If your foot is particularly large, swollen, or has a bulky dressing, then you are likely to be far better off with the version that covers half of the foot (goes up to the knee).As far as I’m concerned, this product is invaluable - there is no substitute for a good shower to stay fresh, particularly if you are stuck in hospital. There are different sizes, and also Limbos for arms and elbows as well - check the Amazon page for details. A really useful, high quality product, at a fair price. Well worthwhile buying in advance of surgery.Highly recommended.

Husband had a toe operation and this let him shower easily and kept dressings totally dry. Highly recommend . Great fit and easy to use, didn’t rip even after 3 months daily use. He is a size 9 foot and fitted easily. Great quality.

My only problem with limbo is they don’t seem to last very long. They always go in the same place, on the seam right at the toe and I can’t use them if they are not waterproof.

Great quality product and 100%waterproof in shower.

This foot limbo is great. I can shower and my dressings stays completely dry.

On the plus side, much better than using a plastic bag and gaffer tape. On the minus side, not very durable at all - mine lasted only two showers and then the neoprene seal split. Having been a drysuit user for many years, I have tried every type of neck, wrist and ankle seal available. Neoprene seals are very low cost, give a decent and comfortable seal, but they don't stretch well and need to be well sized and fitted to work OK. I moved over to latex seals years ago and never looked back. Far better stretch, better at holding back the water, and they last a lot longer so long as you are kind to them and dry and powder them after each use. Perhaps LinbO could consider a latex seal version as a (deluxe) option?

When I measured up for my limbo foot covering I realised I was between sizes at 25.5cm. I opted for the larger size which starts from 26cm and the fit works well covering my dressing and sealing around my lower calf. Have showered every day for over a week now with no leaks at all!My surgeon recommended this product to help with my recovery and I have not been disappointed. The Limbo is well made, excellent value and was delivered quickly by Amazon.
