  • Orthopedic cast material
    Patent number: 4235228
    Abstract: A unitary orthopedic cast material is provided which comprises a layer of plaster splint material, a relatively thick padding layer on one side of the plaster splint material, and a resilient covering fabric enclosing the plaster splint layer and the padding layer. The padding layer and covering fabric are each fabricated from a hydrophobic textile material, such as polypropylene fibers, which acts to wick moisture from the skin of the wearer to the outer surface of the cast material, where the moisture readily evaporates, to thereby alleviate skin irritation and odor beneath the cast.
