<p>An orthopaedic bandage which comprises a support carrying a vinyl compound, which compound polymerises when exposed to a water-activated vinyl polymerisation catalyst, characterised in that the vinyl compound is a hydrophilic prepolymer which contains not less than two polymerisable vinyl groups. Use of a hydrophilic prepolymer which contains not less than two polymerisable vinylic groups results in a storage stable bandage which on exposure to a water activated polymerisation catalyst produces a cast of good strength.</p> |
