No you cannot. We never let someone donate with a cast. They may have a brace on and that is only if it is for stability. If you have a broken it sprained anything you need your plasma to heal, your plasma contains your proteins which aids in recovery from injuries. Please self refer to a nurse onsite so they can give you the specifics on how long you have to wait. PLEASE PLEASE do not lie about injuries, this is bad for your body no money is worth that and could result in a permanent deferral from the company. I work here. You CANNOT donate with any broken bone. It's not about if it is the arm you donate from
The nurse at CSL will need to check it out regardless. I don't think that would be a barrier to donating itself. Let them know if you're having to take any medications for it and what they are. If you can donate from the non-injured side, that may be more comfortable.
not sure exactly you coukd possibly could get note from primary doctor saying its ok. or just explain yourself to the on duty nurse at csl, its really up to that person. i have seen people with walking leg casts donate so the only issue would be if u can squeeze hand to pump your arm during donation.
