SafeScratch Offers Safe Alternative for Cast Wearers |

For anyone that has ever had a cast, you know how unpleasant the
itching is! In desperation, we've put lots of different things down our
casts to try to get relief, but now there is a safe
alternative - SafeScratch.
New Product, SafeScratchTM, Provides Relief For Cast Wearers
For
any person that has ever had to wear a cast, one thing that plagues
recovery is the intense itching cast wearers suffer from. After
breaking his leg, Dick Witham, Founder of Motion Dynamics, was
suffering from itchy skin under his cast, but coat hangers, pens &
knitting needles didn't do the trick. Since Motion Dynamics
manufactures custom springs, coils & wire forms for the medical,
electronics and aerospace industries, Dick had the right tools at hand
and worked with a tooling designer to develop a prototype. Relief was
instantaneous and SafeScratchTM was born! The patented
design of coiled stainless steel material and a uniquely shaped tip are
flexible yet rigid enough to provide immediate relief. At 18" in
length, the non-breakable and non-abrasive material can reach almost
any itch. Plus, SafeScratchTM has a finger ring handle so that patients
can't lose it in the cast. Physicians
often discourage patients from putting anything inside a cast to
relieve itching, but one would be hard-pressed to find a patient that
didn't stick something down their cast to scratch their itch. Patients
often resort to dangerous alternatives like coat hangers, rulers, pens
and countless other items that could potentially damage the skin or get
caught inside the gauze of the cast. SafeScratchTM offers a safe
alternative for patients looking for relief.
SafeScratchTM is
available at a retail list price of $12.95 each and is also available
for wholesale purchases. For more information please visit:
