ORTHOPEDIC CASTING MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention provides an article comprising a curable resin (3) and a filler (2, 6) associated with the resin. The incorporation of fillers into the casting materials of the present invention adds substantially to the strength of the cured casting material as well as to the handling properties of the uncured casting tape or bandage. The incorporation of fillers into the casting materials of the present invention also imparts air and vapor porosity to the cured casting materials. If desired articles of the present invention may also incorporate fibers (either individually, bundled, or in the form of a lightweight scrim) to provide increased cohesiveness to die uncured article.
