Designed with patient mobility in mind, 3M Scotchcast Soft Cast Casting Tape is a fiberglass casting tape that does not set to a completely rigid state, but remains flexible and soft even when it is completely cured. This semi rigid casting tape is ideal for removable casts and combi casting techniques. Soft Cast tape enables treatment of patients with a great number of musculo skeletal conditions.

Features:

• The soft, pliable cast edges improve patient comfort.
• The low profile cast allows patients to wear trainers over lower limb casts.
• Can be used in combination with rigid fiberglass splints, as soft edges provide additional comfort.
• Eliminates the anxiety of removing the cast with a cast-saw as applications can be removed by unwinding or using scissors.
• Clinician can select the level of stability required at the injury site, whilst allowing the rest of the limb to function as normally as possible.

Suggested applications:

• Pediatric Orthopedics: serial casting for club foot treatment.
• Sports Medicine: thumb, wrist and ankle sprains.
• Occupational Therapy: removable splints.
• Used in physiotherapy, podiatry and paediatrics.
• For use in the construction of casts where support is needed but rigid immobilisation is not required, or a limited range in motion is desired.
