Cotton Splint Padding ASP017
Soft roll padding made from 100% natural cotton for use between the skin and a plaster cast or splint. Designed to wrap fractured or injured areas before the rigid cast is applied, providing a protective interface during immobilization.
Features
- Thermal buffer: the cotton layer insulates the skin from the heat released when plaster sets.
- Moisture management: high absorbency helps keep the skin dry under the cast and helps prevent bacterial growth.
- Skin comfort: soft feel reduces friction from the cast surface to help minimize itching, irritation, and skin sores.
- Easy application: flexible roll format allows smooth shaping and wrapping by clinical staff.
- Material: 100% natural cotton; suitable for sensitive skin and free of impurities.
Available sizes
- 5 cm × 2.75 m (commonly used for fingers and wrist)
- 10 cm × 2.75 m (commonly used for forearm and leg)
Directions and storage
- Apply to the affected area as an undercast layer immediately before placing the rigid cast.
- Replace with new padding at each cast change to maintain hygiene.
- Store away from direct moisture at a moderate temperature.
