Total Contact Cast System (TCC-EZ) Overview
The TCC-EZ Total Contact Cast System effectively offloads the foot to give a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) the protective wound environment needed to close and fully heal. Hard-to-manage wounds require the best protection to avoid further tissue damage caused by pressure forces. The TCC-EZ's Healing Chamber does just that, providing the offloading mechanics for the optimal healing environment. The customizable walker boot is lightweight to make walking and standing possible without fear of damaging the wound or cast.

Healing Chamber Technology
The TCC-EZ Cast is the gold standard for healing DFUs because of the Healing Chamber with a protective boot that controls the foots range of motion.
The exterior boot maintains the ankle at 90 degrees to reduce the stride length with lower leg struts that redirect ground force pressure from the bottom of the foot.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often do you replace the cast?
The frequency will depend on the healthcare providers assessment. The cast should be examined at least three days after the initial application.
Can I shower or bathe with the cast?
Yes. Apply a cast protector to keep the boot dry while showering or bathing.
What should I do if the cast gets wet?
Call the doctor, as it will need to be removed immediately and reapplied.
If the cast is loose or is rubbing, what do I do?
The Total Contact Cast requires a snug fit to prevent friction and shearing. If the cast is loose, it will need to be changed as soon as possible.
Is it normal to have swelling above the cast?
Yes. The swelling may be due to too much walking. Rest and elevate the leg to reduce the swelling.
