A knitted substrate suitable for use in a resin-coated, water-hardenable orthopaedic splinting bandage is described. The substrate comprises inelastic fibres being incorporated in the substrate in the length direction. In a preferred substrate the low modulus fibre is a multifilament polypropylene and the elastic fibre is a polyurethane yarn. Conformable orthopaedic bandages employing the substrate are also described. |
