How to Use

FLASHCAST Synthetic Fibreglass Casting Tape should only be applied by trained medical professionals. 1. Prepare the limb: Ensure the skin is clean and dry. 2. Apply stockinette and padding: Protect the skin with a suitable stockinette and adequate casting padding to prevent pressure points and skin irritation. 3. Activate the tape: Immerse the roll of FLASHCAST tape in lukewarm water (20-25°C) for 5-10 seconds, squeezing gently to ensure complete saturation. 4. Apply the cast: Begin wrapping the tape spirally around the injured limb, overlapping each layer by approximately one-half to two-thirds of the width. 5. Mold the cast: Immediately after application, mold the cast to the desired anatomical contours for optimal fit and support. 6. Allow to set: The cast will become rigid within 3-5 minutes. Full weight-bearing, if indicated, should only occur after 20-30 minutes, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
