Cast air delivery systems, cast ventilation sleeves and methods of
manufacturing cast sleeves are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a
method of manufacturing cast ventilation sleeves includes forming an
elongated cylindrical sleeve from a breathable, elastomeric material. The
method can further include providing an air delivery tube configured to
receive pressurized air. The method can also include disposing a
plurality of spaced apart holes in the air delivery tube, wherein the
holes can be positioned to disperse the pressurized air along a tube
length. Additionally the method can include coupling the air delivery
tube to the elongated sleeve to form a cast ventilation sleeve stock. The
air delivery tube can be positioned to be generally parallel to a sleeve
length and the tube length can be generally equal to a sleeve length. The
elongated sleeve can be cut to a selectable length for use under an
orthopedic cast.
