Product Description
Softpoly Cast, semi-rigid casting tape, is intended for use when support is needed, but rigid immobilization is not required, such as in a wide variety of athletic injuries, pediatric corrective serial casting, secondary and tertiary casting for various orthopedic problems, and as a comprehensive wrap to control swelling. Softpoly, softer, more flexible casting material is typically used for functional immobilizations that can tolerate some movement (e.g., non-serious, minor broken bones; or more typically strains, sprains, and ligament damage). Softpoly consists of a knitted polyester fabric impregnated with a polyurethane resin. Exposure to moisture or water initiates a chemical reaction which causes the roll to set. The finished wrap will retain its shape while remaining resilient to the touch.

Application
1. Slip one layer of stockinet over the affected body part. Additional padding may be used for greater protection of pressure points and bony prominences.
2. Gloves must be worn
3. Open only one roll of Softpoly at a time.
4. Immerse the roll in room temperature water. Three firm squeeze of the roll while immersed will give a set time of approximately 3 and a half minutes. To lengthen the set time, immerse the roll and remove it immediately without squeezing. This will give you a set time of around 4 minutes. Warmer water shortens the set time while cooler water lengthens it.
5. Wrap spirally, taking care to avoid excessive tightness.
6. Smooth and rub the surface to achieve good contact between layers. About 3~5 minutes after immersion in the water, Softpoly is sufficiently cured to prevent further molding.
7. Allow 10 minutes before letting the patient resume activities.

Removal: Softpoly can be unwrapped, cut off with bandage scissors, or removed with a traditional cast saw. In case of cast saw, care should be taken to avoid injury to the patient when a small amount of under padding has been used.
