Frequently asked questions
Is the resin water-activated for easier application?
Yes, this cast tape utilizes a water-activated resin system. This feature is designed to give practitioners greater control over the set time, allowing for better flexibility and precision during the application process.
How quickly can the cast bear weight?
The McKesson Fiberglass Cast Tape is engineered for high early strength. It reaches full weight-bearing capacity in just 20 minutes, significantly reducing the risk of cast breakdown.
Is the material breathable for long-term wear?
Absolutely. The tape features a porous, woven design that is specifically crafted to facilitate airflow. This ensures the skin beneath the cast can breathe, which greatly enhances overall patient comfort during the healing process.
Does this tape contain natural rubber latex?
No, this product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safer option for patients with latex sensitivities.
How long is the setting window during application?
The cast tape has a functional set time of 3 to 4 minutes. This provides enough window for the practitioner to mold the tape effectively to the patient’s anatomical contours before it begins to harden.
Is the fiberglass durable enough to resist degradation?
Yes, this professional-grade fiberglass is engineered to produce a robust and durable cast. Its high-quality construction is specifically designed to resist degradation, which helps minimize the need for costly cast replacements.
How well does it conform to the body?
Thanks to its flexible fiberglass construction, the tape is designed for optimal conformability. It easily follows the body’s natural anatomical contours, ensuring a snug and secure fit that supports effective immobilization.
How many rolls are included in each purchase?
Each box contains 10 rolls of high-performance fiberglass cast tape, ensuring a reliable supply for clinical needs.
Is this product suitable for VA healthcare facilities?
Yes, this McKesson Fiberglass Cast Tape is VA approved, meeting the necessary standards for use in healthcare environments.
What is the best way to store the tape?
To ensure the integrity of the water-activated resin, the tape is provided in protective, heat-sealed, opaque pouches. It is essential to keep the rolls in these sealed pouches until they are ready for use to prevent premature moisture activation.
