How to Use

• Protect the skin of the affected limb with a medical stockinette and padding.
• Submerge the roll in lukewarm water for 5 seconds to activate the resin's chemical reaction.
• Wrap the tape evenly around the limb, ensuring it is not too tight to maintain healthy blood circulation.
• Mold the cast by hand within 3-5 minutes to perfectly match the limb's anatomy.
• Avoid applying any weight or pressure on the cast for 20 minutes until it achieves its final structural rigidity.

FAQs about Optima Tape 5

How does it differ from traditional white plaster?

Fiberglass is 4-5 times lighter, 20 times stronger, waterproof, breathable, and provides significantly clearer X-ray images than traditional plaster.

Is it suitable for pediatric use?

Absolutely. It is the ideal choice for children due to its lightweight nature, which doesn't hinder their mobility, and its strength, which withstands their spontaneous activity.

How is the cast removed?

It is easily removed in a clinical setting using a standard medical cast saw. It detaches safely and cleanly without generating the heavy dust associated with old plaster casts.
