Fracture Management: Orthopaedic casting tape is widely used to create casts for the management of fractures. It provides a rigid and supportive structure around the injured limb, immobilizing it to facilitate proper alignment and healing of the fractured bone.
Splinting: In addition to full casts, orthopaedic casting tape can be used to create splints for the temporary immobilization of fractures or soft tissue injuries. Splints offer some degree of immobilization while allowing for swelling and proper wound care.
Support for Ligament Injuries: In cases of severe ligament injuries, such as those to the ankle or wrist, orthopaedic casting tape may be used to provide additional support and stability to the joint while the ligaments heal.
