- Prepare the Limb: Ensure the limb is clean, dry, and protected with appropriate padding or stockinette.
- Open Pouch: The pouch features finger holes for easy opening. Open the package just before use to prevent premature hardening.
- Activate the Tape: Submerge the roll of casting tape in lukewarm water (20-25°C / 68-77°F) for approximately 5-10 seconds. Squeeze gently to remove excess water.
- Apply the Tape: Begin wrapping the tape around the limb, overlapping each layer by approximately one-half to two-thirds the width of the tape. Maintain even tension. The tape glides off the roll for easier application.
- Molding: Mold the cast to the desired shape before it hardens. The material allows for a smooth, non-abrasive finished cast.
- Curing Time: The cast will begin to harden within 3-5 minutes and will be weight-bearing in approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on the number of layers and water temperature.
