Plaster of Paris bandages are used in Orthopedics as impression and modeling compounds. Limbs are molded in plaster to serve as a pattern for artificial limbs, and to facilitate the fitting of prosthesis. Plaster of Paris bandages offers enhanced molding capability for casting circular turns, immobilization after fractures, orthopedic corrections, and treating general joint and bone disorders. Characteristics: Rapid water absorption (short soaking time) High gypsum pulp ratio Hardens rapidly with consistent hardening time Stable temperature during hardening (38 Celsius) Good capacity to accurately reproduce limbs, both in shape and dimension Dries quickly after hardening High strength
