Gypsona Plaster of paris 6”

Gypsona is the trusted name in Plaster of Paris (POP) bandages. This 6-inch wide bandage is an essential orthopedic supply for emergency rooms and fracture clinics.

Features and Benefits:
– Rapid Setting: Fast setting time (usually 2-5 minutes) allows for quick immobilization, which is crucial in trauma cases or when dealing with restless patients.
– Mouldability: The creamy texture allows the technician to mould the cast intimately around body contours (bony prominences) for a comfortable, custom fit.
– Strength: Creates a durable, rigid shell that maintains fracture reduction.
– Low Exotherm: carefully formulated to minimize heat generation during the setting process, reducing the risk of patient discomfort.
– Interlocked Weave: Prevents plaster loss during wetting, ensuring a strong cast with less mess.

Application:
Dip the bandage in lukewarm water for a few seconds until bubbling stops, squeeze lightly, and apply. It should be applied over orthopedic padding (softban) to protect the skin. The cast is fully weight-bearing after drying completely (usually 24-48 hours). Store bandages in a moisture-proof container to prevent premature setting.
