OrthoTape 6" Synthetic Tubular Cast Stockinette — 10-Foot Section
The OrthoTape 6" Synthetic Tubular Cast Stockinette is a soft, breathable, seamless tubular stockinette used as the first layer under orthopedic casts and splints. The 10-foot section is ideal for individual patient use or clinics that prefer pre-measured lengths over cutting from a full roll. Applied directly over the skin before cast padding and fiberglass or plaster tape, it protects the skin and provides a smooth, comfortable base layer.
