The material used in casting supplies is crucial as it impacts strength, weight, comfort, and suitability for specific applications. Common materials include fiberglass and cotton, each offering unique benefits: fiberglass (like in McKesson Cast Tape) is lightweight and strong, ideal for durable casts, while cotton (as in Sterile Wytex Undercast Padding) provides softness and comfort as padding under hard casts. The range of materials available allows you to tailor the casting solution to patient needs, whether prioritizing protection, comfort, or both.
