Surgical Fiberglass Polyester Casting Tape For Orthopedic Casting Requires

Medical Surgical Fiberglass Polyester Casting Tape For Orthopedic Casting Requires
 
Product Description :

Orthopedic casting tape is composed by manifold layers of special made fiberglass , which was soaked by polyurethane . Polyurethane material is one kind of block copolymer which contains soft segment and it is characterize by better viscosity , fast drying time , high rigidness and light weight .  Dure to better biocompatibility , polyurethane is widely used in medical fields .  Animal study and acute and chronic toxicity test have proved that medical polyurethane is non-toxic and no teratogenecity ,  no local irritation and no anaphylactic reaction .

How to use Casting Tape

1)  Put the pad (cotton coil or cotton slipcover) on the surgery position .

2)  Wear surgical gloves .

3)  Select proper specification according to the surgery position .

4)  Immerse the roll in room temperature water (21°C - 24°C) for 4 - 6 seconds and squeeze it 2 - 3 times firmly .  If the water warmer than 21°C - 24°C shortens the immersing time , while cooler than 21-24°C water lengthens the time .

5)  Enwind spirally ; Overlapping the previous layer by one-half or two-thirds of the roll width . To maintain proper tension is very important and take care to avoid excessive tightness . The strength can be determined by the number of layers used . Just 3-4 layers provide a string non-weigh-bearing cast and 5 - 6  layers are typically adequate for weight-bearing cast .

6)  Additional after the initial enwinding should be overlapped on itself to achieve good molding . Enwind the roll in 3-5 minutes after immersing in water because after that time it will be concretion .

7)  Smooth and rub the surface to achieve good contact between layers . Keeping smoothness helps mold the wrap .

Allow about 10 minutes for sufficient concretion and let patients not move during this time . It could bear electric weight after 20 minutes .

8)  It could be windowed , trimmed or removed with traditional cast saw equipment .

Precaution Please apply the surgical rubber gloves when you operate the product.When the resin is stuck to operator , please wipe it out with cotton swab with acetone .
