NON-FRAYING SUBSTRATE FOR USE IN AN ORTHOPAEDIC CASTING BANDAGE AND A PROCESS FOR ITS PREPARATION

摘要

A resin-coated, knitted glass fibre substrate is prevented from fraying at a cut end by the presence at the said cut end of a polymer strip. The substrate is preferably coated with a water curable resin whereby the coated substrate can be used as an orthopaedic bandage. Processes for applying the polymer strip to the resin-coated substrate are also described.
