What is a Casting Tape?
A Casting Tape is a rigid bandage material used to immobilize and support fractured bones or injured limbs during the healing process. This orthopedic cast is made of fast-setting fiberglass that hardens when exposed to moisture and is commonly used by medical professionals to create a custom-fit cast.
Once the casting tape is applied to the injured limb or fractured bone, it molds to the contours of the body. The fast-setting property of the fiberglass allows for quick and efficient application, minimizing the waiting time for the cast to harden. It is also water-resistant, allowing patients to engage in activities such as bathing or swimming.

Our production facilities in India, China, and the USA are ISO and CE-certified, signifying our strict compliance with healthcare and regulatory guidelines.

Uses
How should Casting Tape be used?
To properly use casting tape, begin by ensuring that the limb is clean and dry. Apply a layer of padding to protect the skin and provide additional comfort. Start wrapping the tape snugly around the limb, making sure to overlap each layer by about half of the width of the tape. Continue wrapping until the desired coverage and support are achieved. Smooth the surface of the cast to ensure an even application.
After applying the casting tape, allow it to dry completely. This usually takes several minutes, but the drying time may vary depending on the specific type of casting tape used. During the drying process, keep the casted limb immobile to prevent any distortion or misalignment.
What precautions should be considered when using Casting Tape?
While wearing a cast, monitor for any signs of discomfort, increased pain, swelling, or unusual sensations. If any of these symptoms occur, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
FAQs
How does Casting Tape work?
Casting tape works by creating a rigid and protective shell around a fractured bone or injured limb. When the tape is applied and moistened, it undergoes a chemical reaction that causes it to harden, providing stability and immobilization to the affected area.
What is Casting Tape made of?
Casting tape is typically made of fast-setting fiberglass material. The fiberglass strands are impregnated with a resin that activates upon contact with moisture, allowing the tape to harden and form a solid cast.
How long does Casting Tape take to harden?
The hardening time of casting tape varies depending on the specific product. However, in general, the tape can start to harden within a few minutes of moisture application, and it reaches its maximum strength within a couple of hours.
How long does a Casting Tape need to stay on?
The duration for which a casting tape needs to remain on depends on the specific injury and the healing process. It is typically determined by a healthcare professional who will monitor the progress of the injury, but typically it is worn for several weeks to months.
