High-Strength Fiberglass Cast Tape – Pediatric & Adult Fracture Care

Welcome to MediTapes, your dedicated global partner for advanced medical immobilization products. We understand that effective fracture care requires solutions that are adaptable to patients of all sizes and ages. Our High-Strength Fiberglass Cast Tape (WOW Bandage) is meticulously engineered to provide superior support, bridging the gap between robust durability for adults and lightweight comfort for pediatric casting.

A Versatile Solution for Modern Orthopedics

In the diverse world of orthopedic treatment, a “one-size-fits-all” approach rarely works. However, our fiberglass cast tape is designed with versatility at its core. By utilizing a premium knitted fiberglass substrate infused with a specialized polyurethane resin, we have created a casting material that delivers rigid immobilization without the bulk and weight associated with traditional plaster casts.

Whether you are treating an active child with a greenstick fracture or an adult with a complex break, the MediTapes WOW Bandage offers the moldability and strength necessary for optimal bone alignment and healing.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Optimized for Pediatric & Adult Care

The unique properties of our fiberglass bandage make it exceptionally suitable for pediatric casting. Children require casts that are not only strong enough to withstand play but also light enough not to impede their movement. Our tape is significantly lighter than plaster, reducing fatigue. Simultaneously, its high tensile strength ensures it meets the heavy-duty demands of adult fracture care.

2. Rigid Immobilization for Faster Healing

Stability is the cornerstone of recovery. Once activated, our orthopedic casting solution hardens rapidly into a solid, impact-resistant shell. This rigid immobilization prevents micro-movements at the fracture site, which is critical for the formation of the callus and subsequent bone knitting.

3. Eco-Friendly Cast Technology

At MediTapes, we are committed to sustainability in healthcare. Our eco-friendly cast tape is designed with environmental responsibility in mind. The materials used produce minimal dust during removal compared to traditional casts, protecting the respiratory health of medical staff. Furthermore, the fully cured cast can be incinerated cleanly, leaving minimal ash residue, which aligns with modern medical waste management protocols.

4. Superior Breathability & Hygiene

Skin irritation is a common complaint, especially with children who may have sensitive skin. The “WOW” (Wide Open Weave) structure of our tape ensures it is highly breathable. This porosity allows moisture from sweat to evaporate, keeping the skin underneath dry and reducing the risk of maceration, itching, and foul odors.

Usage Instructions

For the best results in achieving rigid immobilization, follow these application steps:

  1. Preparation: Apply a protective stockinette and adequate orthopedic padding to the injured limb.
  2. Activation: Wear gloves. Open the foil pouch and submerge the fiberglass cast tape in room temperature water (20°C – 25°C) for 3-5 seconds.
  3. Squeeze: Squeeze the roll 2-3 times while submerged to ensure full water penetration.
  4. Application: Wrap the tape spirally, overlapping the previous layer by about 50%.
    • For pediatric casting, fewer layers may be sufficient due to the lighter weight of the patient.
    • For adults, ensure sufficient layering for maximum strength.
  5. Molding: Smooth the surface to bond the layers. The cast will set in 3-5 minutes and be weight-bearing in approximately 20 minutes.
