3M Scotchcast Plus White Fibreglass Casting Tape 125mm x 3.6m Product Code 82005
The 3M Scotchcast Plus White Casting Tape 125mm x 3.6m (82005) is a lightweight, strong, and durable fibreglass casting tape designed for reliable orthopaedic cast applications. Combining the strength and durability of fibreglass with the handling ease of traditional plaster, it provides a comfortable, supportive cast while promoting patient mobility.
Featuring a water-activated resin, Scotchcast Plus allows healthcare professionals to control the working time according to the application requirements. Its high early strength supports weight-bearing in as little as 20 minutes, helping patients regain mobility sooner when clinically appropriate.
The flexible material stretches to conform to body contours, allowing a comfortable, well-fitting cast. Its porous weave promotes airflow to the skin, while its water-resistant and hard-wearing construction helps reduce the risk of cast breakdown and the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
Suitable for conventional casting applications, 3M Scotchcast Plus provides a dependable combination of strength, comfort, and ease of application.
