Orthopedic Casting Tape

USE INSTRUCTION

Apply 1~2 layers stockinet over the affected body part;

Wear surgical gloves;

Choose proper size orthopedic casting tape, then open the package;

Immerse the casting tape in normal temperature(20℃30℃) water for 5~6 seconds and squeeze 2~3 times.
Then remove from the water and squeeze out the excess water.
The curing time of orthopedic casting tape is directly related to the temperature of water.
The curing time is shorter in high temperature water than in low temperature water.
If the water temperature is over 27C, the curing time is too short to increase the difficulty of the operation.

Wrap the casting tape spirally around the affected body part, overlapping the previous layer by one-half or two-thirds the width of the tape.

The tension is moderate.
If it is too loose, it will weaken the adhesion of the orthopedic casting tape.
If it is too tight, it will affect the blood circulation.
The intensity of the casting tape is related to the number of overlapped layers.
Overlap 3 4 layers for the non-weight bearing parts, while overlap 5 6 layers for the weight bearing parts.
If more layers are needed, please ensure the adhesivity between the layers.

To increase the adhesion between layers, the casting tape will be shaped after wrapped.
The operating time should be in 35 minutes.
The adhesion and shaping effect cannot reach the best if the operating time is longer or the immersed time is too long.
The patients do not allow to move freely in 10 minutes before the orthopedic casting tape are completely hardened.

The electric plaster saw is needed if the affected parts need to open a window or remove the orthopedic casting tape.
