Ravel-Free Orthopaedic Fiberglass Casting Tapes (5)
These orthopedic fiberglass casting tapes free ends may be very uncomfortable for a patient if the wire-like end protrudes into the skin of the patient. The excessive raveling may also generate a considerable amount of loose strands in the casting tape which become unsightly and makes the casting tape difficult to apply. The unraveled end is not readily cut off from the bandage because of the nature of the prepolymer. The prepolymer is very sticky and attempting to cut the prepolymer coated substrate before curing is difficult.
