Orthopedic Fiberglass Casting Tapes

Description

Shuangwei orthopedic fiberglass casting tapes are a modern alternative to plaster-of-Paris (P.O.P.) bandages, used for the immobilization and external fixation of fractures and soft-tissue injuries.

Product Features

  • Harmless to human health
  • Cures in about 5 minutes
  • 25 times stronger and 5 times lighter than P.O.P. bandage
  • Resistant to water and moisture
  • 100% radiolucent (permeable to X-ray)

Instructions for Use

  1. Apply a protective pad to the injured area.
  2. Wearing gloves, open the package and immerse the casting tape in room-temperature water for 5–8 seconds. Squeeze out excess water.
  3. Wrap the tape over the padding layer by layer, overlapping each turn by half the width of the tape. Press gently to ensure intimate contact and proper shaping.
  4. The cast will harden and set within 5–7 minutes.
  5. To remove, cut with an electric plaster saw.
