Manufactured by BSN medical (part of Essity), this high-quality tape offers excellent conformability and durability, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of orthopedic applications. Its lightweight and breathable design ensures patient comfort throughout the healing process.

Benefits of Use

• Superior Conformity: Easily molds to body contours, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit.
• Lightweight and Durable: Provides strong, rigid support without adding excessive bulk, promoting patient mobility.
• Radiolucent: Allows for clear X-ray visualization of the healing bone without cast removal.
• Breathable Design: Reduces skin maceration and improves ventilation for enhanced patient comfort.
• Easy to Apply: Smooth unwind and tack-free application simplify the casting process for healthcare professionals.
• Moisture-Resistant: Maintains integrity even when exposed to water, allowing for daily hygiene (with proper cast care).

How to Use

1. Ensure the patient's skin is clean and dry.
2. Apply appropriate stockinette and padding to protect the skin and bony prominences.
3. Wear protective gloves.
4. Submerge the DELTACAST ELITE roll in water (21-24°C) for 4-6 seconds, squeezing gently to ensure complete saturation.
5. Remove from water, squeeze out excess water, and apply immediately.
6. Wrap the tape smoothly and evenly around the affected limb, overlapping each layer by one-half to two-thirds.
7. Mold the cast to the desired shape during the working time, ensuring proper anatomical alignment.
8. Allow the cast to fully set and cure. The cast is weight-bearing in approximately 20-30 minutes.

Caution & Warnings

• Always use protective gloves during application to prevent resin adhesion to the skin.
• Avoid excessive tension during wrapping to prevent constriction and pressure points.
• Do not apply directly to compromised skin without proper padding.
• Monitor the patient for signs of skin irritation, nerve compression, or circulatory impairment.
• Cast removal should only be performed by a trained healthcare professional using a cast saw.
• Store at room temperature in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight.
