Abstract: A plaster cast sheath for use during the application of a cast to an extremity of a patient is disclosed. The plaster cast sheath allows for the correct placement of a portion of the unwinding roll of plaster cast material as it is passed through the interdigital web space, e.g., between the thumb and index finger or the big toe and second toe, or between any two digits on the extremity that needs to be immobilized, as the cast is being prepared on the extremity. The plaster cast sheath is used for the purpose of protecting the skin that lies on either side of the band of plaster material that passes through the limited interdigital space between two adjacent digits of the hand or foot.
