Resin-Coated Extensible Heat-Set Orthopedic Fiberglass Casting Tapes (4)
Prior to the present invention, most commercially-available, resin-coated, knitted orthopedic fiberglass casting tapes exhibited approximately 5%-15% extensibility beyond their relaxed length. The only product which provided greater extensibility, a product marketed under the trademark "K-Cast" (manufactured by Hexcel Corporation, San Francisco, California), suffered from the problem of fraying along cut edges.
