The North Coast Thermoplastic Tape is a tool that doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals can use to cover areas around the hand and wrist. The lightweight fabric is flexible and breathable, providing comfort and cleanliness around the injury. This allows patients to wear the casting tape longer, with less discomfort and chance of infection.
When you're ready to apply the tape, heat it up using 150F water until it's soft. Once you allow it to reach a safe temperature, wrap it around the patient's fingers, hand, or wrists as many times as needed for the specific condition. The tape helps cover the affected area and provides a protective layer that allows them to move around freely with less risk of any injuries or setbacks.
Medical professionals can easily remove the tape with professional cast scissors. Once the tape is off, you can reapply using the same technique if the patient requires wearing the product for longer periods.
The North Coast Thermoplastic Tape is similar to classic casting material, but the 1/14 inch thickness is more flexible, comfortable, and easier to work with. Patients and their caretakers will love the versatility of the casting tape, which they can wrap around smaller areas between the fingers more easily.
Latex-free materials are suitable for patients prone to allergies and sensitive skin, making this casting tape ideal to use for nearly any adult patient.
