  • Porous weave allows the skin to breathe

3M 82003U Scotchcast Plus Casting Tape Instructions For Use

Preparation of the site, wound management, fracture reduction, postsurgical care and general patient supervision should follow established practices.

  • Slip one or two layers of 3M Stockinet over the affected part, and/or wrap with 3M Cast Padding. If desired, additional cast padding may be used for greater protection of pressure points and bony prominences. It is important to use 3M water-shedding stockinet and cast padding to enable thorough drying if the cast should be immersed in water.
  • Gloves MUST be worn while wrapping the casting tape since the resin in the tape will transfer and adhere to the skin.
  • Select the desired width of Scotchcast casting tape. Open only one roll at a time, since room humidity may initiate hardening.
  • Immerse the roll of tape in room temperature water 70-75? (21-24?). NOTE: Three firm squeezes of the roll while it is submerged will give a set time of approximately 3 minutes. To lengthen the set time, immerse the roll and remove it immediately without squeezing. This technique will give a set time of approximately 4 minutes. When using Scotchcast Plus casting tapes, there may be a decrease in slipperiness if the roll is not squeezed while submerged in water. Warmer water shortens the set time while cooler water will lengthen it. If the roll is immersed in water above 80? (27?) an increase in exotherm may be noted.
  • Construct the cast by wrapping spirally, overlapping the previous turn one-half to two-thirds the width of the tape. As with any cast, take care to avoid excessive tightness. To ensure a snug fit, however, wrap with slight tension on the tape rather than the rolling application common to plaster.6. Just three or four layers provide a strong nonweight-bearing cast and five to eight layers are typically adequate for weight-bearing cast. Additional layers are generally not necessary for strength and will reduce porosity.
