Orthopedic casting material and hermetic package

摘要

A kit of curable orthopedic casting/splinting materials in a substantially hermetic heat sealed pouch formed from laminate sheet-material having a heat sealable inner layer bonded to an outer layer. The pouch includes a multiplicity of fibers that facilitate tearing the laminate sheet material in a predetermined direction. The multiplicity of fibers are disposed between the inner and outer layers of the laminate sheet material, and are generally equally spaced across the entire width of the material. A notch and a friction region are also preferably provided to facilitate tearing the pouch.
