The casts and splints are orthopedic devices used to protect and support the broken or injured joints and bones. They help keep the bone in place until it heals completely. The casts vary from splints as they facilitate the person with more support and protection for the broken or injured limb. Casts are manufactured from plaster or fiberglass material since they are easily molded in the shape of the broken limb.
Splints are also known as half-casts. They facilitate the patient with a lesser amount of support as compared to the fiberglass casts. However, these are quick and easy to use. Subsequently, you can tighten or loosen them as per your need or when you see the swelling in the limb. The quick-to-use splints are found in various shapes and sizes. They are also customized depending on the needs of the patient. Velcro straps make the process easier for the patient or healthcare provider to put on or take the splint off.
At HPFY, we provide the best quality leg casts from top brands like Brown Medical, Mabis DMI Healthcare, and Advanced Orthopaedics to name a few.
The Casts and splints are used on the broken limb. They are often used after surgery. Splints are sometimes used immediately after encountering swelling at the injured site. Once the swelling decreases, a leg cast is applied to the broken or damaged leg or arm. One may have to replace a cast amidst the recovering process or when the swelling around the injury goes away and the cast is loosened. In such a case, the cast may be replaced with a splint for better movement.
Durable cast and bandage protective covers aid in keeping the cast dry while bathing or showering. Their specially designed opening stretches to fit over the cast and then regains its original shape to fit tightly. They are reusable and latex free.
The fiberglass cast tape gives many great options for a customized experience without losing any of the quality features of a great cast tape. Strong and durable due to being made of synthetic fiberglass material, this cast tape won’t need to be replaced as often as a result of fewer breakdowns. Make it last even longer with cast protectors for when it is exposed to water. It remains comfortable and lightweight, allowing for better movement and use with its porous weave in order for the skin to breathe.
The hundred percent cotton undercast padding is constructed of cotton fibers for soft and natural cushioning. Ideal for use with either synthetic or plaster casting material. It minimizes dimensional changes that lead to movement of padding under cast. Conforms to all body contours.
An orthopedic cast is a solid shell usually made from plaster or fiberglass to encase a limb in order to stabilize and hold anatomical structures, most often to secure a broken bone in place for a period until healing is confirmed.
Casts are available in two types:
A wet cast could start to dissolve in water and may irritate the skin underneath it, possibly leading to infection. A wet cast may not hold the bone in place due to the dissolving property of plaster of paris. Fiberglass casts are water proof but the inside padding is not waterproof and it may not dry thereafter.
