Practicalities Health Other Possible Problems Broken Limb 

Can make a swimming holiday problematic. A product called XeroSox, available from the Mobilis Healthcare Group (see Swimwear section in Suppliers) is a solution. It is a tube of plastic which is stretched over a plastered limb and then sucked tight by squeezing an internal pump. This keeps everything dry so swimming becomes possible. It is apparently tough to get on, but saves the holiday.
