How To Use

1. Ensure the patient's skin is clean and dry. Apply appropriate padding and stockinette to protect the skin beneath the cast.
2. Wear protective gloves. Open the DELTACAST SOFT Synthetic Polyester Casting Tape package immediately before use, as it begins to cure upon exposure to air.
3. Immerse the roll in lukewarm water (21-27°C) for 5-10 seconds, squeezing gently to ensure complete saturation.
4. Wrap the tape around the desired body part using a spiral technique, overlapping each layer by approximately one-half to two-thirds the width of the tape.
5. Mold the cast into the desired shape within 3-5 minutes before it fully sets. Ensure proper alignment and immobilization.
6. Allow the cast to fully harden, which typically takes about 20-30 minutes for weight-bearing strength.
7. Educate the patient on proper cast care and monitoring for any signs of discomfort or complications.

Caution & Warnings

• • For professional medical use only. Application should be performed by trained healthcare personnel.
• • Avoid direct contact of the uncured tape with skin. Always use gloves during application.
• • Ensure proper ventilation during application to minimize exposure to fumes.
• • Do not apply too tightly, as this can impede circulation. Always check for adequate blood flow after application.
• • Store in a cool, dry place, sealed in its original packaging, to prevent premature curing.
• • Dispose of used materials according to local medical waste regulations.
