Benefits of Use

• Rapid Setting Time: Achieves initial rigidity within 3 to 5 minutes, allowing for quick patient management.
• High Strength & Durability: Provides robust and stable support once set, ensuring effective immobilization.
• Consistent Plaster Distribution: Evenly impregnated with high-quality Plaster of Paris for smooth, strong, and aesthetically pleasing casts.

• Excellent Conformability: Easily molds to the contours of the body, creating a precise and comfortable fit for the patient.
• BP Quality Standard: Manufactured to British Pharmacopoeia specifications, guaranteeing a high standard of quality and performance.

How to Use

1. Prepare the affected limb: Ensure the area is clean and dry. Apply appropriate padding such as stockinette and cotton wool to protect the skin and bony prominences.
2. Immerse the bandage: Submerge the GYPSONA bandage in lukewarm water (around 20-25°C) at a 45-degree angle until air bubbles cease, indicating full saturation.
3. Remove excess water: Gently squeeze the bandage from both ends towards the center to remove any surplus water, but do not twist.
4. Apply the bandage: Begin applying the bandage spirally, overlapping each layer by approximately half its width. Avoid applying excessive tension, which can constrict circulation.
5. Smooth and laminate: Smooth the layers with your hands to ensure good lamination and eliminate air pockets, creating a strong, homogenous cast.
6. Allow to set: Maintain the desired position until the cast has achieved initial rigidity (typically 3-5 minutes). Full weight-bearing strength may take 24-72 hours, depending on the thickness of the cast.

Caution & Warnings

• For external use only.
• Application should only be performed by trained medical professionals to ensure proper immobilization and patient safety.
• Monitor the patient closely for signs of neurovascular compromise after application, including swelling, numbness, tingling, pain, or discoloration of the digits.
• Do not apply the bandage too tightly, as this can impede blood circulation.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain product integrity.
• Dispose of used materials according to local medical waste regulations.
