CALSU PLAST (P.O.P)

Calsu Plast (P.O.P)

(Plaster of Paris Bandage)

Calsu Plast impregnated bandages have been used to maintain the position of bones and joints for over a century. Classically, wool dressing is applied to the limb before the (Calsu Plast) POP, which can then be molded to the desired shape. A modification of this practice is to wrap the (Calsu Plast) POP bandages circumstantially in cotton before wetting and applying to the patient in an attempt to reduce inhalation of plaster dust and reduce mess. However, this may affect the water content of the cast and therefore also its setting properties and strength.

Indications:

Buckle injuries and minor physical injuries at the wrist. Temporary support for many hand and foot injuries.

Precautions:

Do not put anything down your Plaster (e.g. knitting needles) as it may cause damage to your skin. Do not cut your Plaster or try to remove.

Storage:

Unopened rolls of Calsu Plast should be stored in a cool dry atmosphere.
