Fiberglass Casting Tape

Fiberglass Casting Tape is used to mend and protect a broken leg or arm. Casting tape was first introduce in the early 90's as a replacement to the heavier plaster cast. Orthopedic cast tape can also be used as a fiberglass repair tape and a hobby molding tape. Fiberglass casting tape is fiberglass cloth impregnated with a poly urethane resin, all while under vacuum and then sealed in an air tight pouch. Suppliers and manufacturers produce their tapes differently by varying the amount of resin and dye in their brand to come up with a special version of casting tape. How does fiberglass casting tape work? Upon contact with humidity in air or room temperature water it begins to set in 2-3 minutes. It is then applied or used for its intended purpose. It will harden in about 2-3 minutes of time so it is important to work fast or it will soon solidify. If you are new at orthopedic casting, we recommend that you practice perfecting your methods. We have numerous how to videos on the application of a leg or arm cast. OrthoTape has over 13 different cast colors to choose from. Our camouflage green, pink, and blue is a polyester fabric. You can only print on polyester fabric, so all printed casting tapes use this type of fabric. We have increased the dye content in our brand for a longer lasting color over time. Two brands available: Techform and Orthotape.
