BSN ARTICAST 10,12.5CM
The BSN Medical Articast Fiberglass Casting Tape in 10 cm and 12.5 cm widths is a water-activated fiberglass casting bandage. It hardens to a rigid structure after application for strong, durable immobilization. It is lightweight and easy to conform to limb shapes.
Articast is specifically designed for orthopedic use, offering superior strength and rigidity once set, making it ideal for fracture immobilization. Its fiberglass construction resists moisture retention, which helps prevent skin maceration under the cast. The non-tacky resin allows smooth and clean application without the bandage sticking to itself. After curing, the cast is durable yet light enough for patient comfort and mobility during the healing process.
