ORTHOPEDIC CAST MATERIAL

摘要

ORTHOPEDIC CAST MATERIAL A unitary orthopedic cast material is provided which comprises a layer of plaster splint material, a relatively thick padding layer on on side of the plaster splint material, and a resilient covering fabric enclosing the plaster splint layer and the padding layer. The padding layer and covering fabric are each fabricated fxom a hydrophobic textile material, such as polypropylene fibers, which acts to wick moisture from the skin of the wearer to the outer surface of the cast material, where the moisture readily evaporates, to thereby alleviate skin irritation and odor beneath the cast.
