A surgical cast venting device including a stretchable piece of fabric material and one or more aerating devices affixed to and located on the inner surface of the material. The preferred fabric material is stretchable and porous and can have a flexible tubular configuration with two opposite ends which are open. The preferred aerating devices are elongate tubular members which are open at both ends and perforated along their length. These members can be affixed to the fabric material by means of a medical adhesive. The venting device is adapted for placement around part of a human body or animal body prior to application of a surgical cast. In a preferred version, the tubular members extend in a longitudinal direction relative to the longitudinal axis of the fabric.
