CURING OF ORTHOPEDIC CASTING MATERIAL AND DEVICE AND METHOD FOR USING SAME

摘要

The disclosure relates to water-curable orthopedic bandages on a support spool (2) or on or in other supports which bandage can be immediately applied to an affected limb. Supplied in addition to the orthopedic bandages and spool is an amount of a water-laden gel. The word gel is meant to apply to a viscous semi-solid which can be applied over surfaces in an adherent film and will disperse and move in response to the movement of the practitioner's hands in molding and forming the adhesive bandage around the limb or in the formation of various shapes as splints prior to application to the patient. It is to be distinguished from a free-flowing liquid which drips when applied to a limb resulting in a messy environment.
