Abstract: Casting aids comprising a resin-impermeable substrate and a lubricating material, wherein the lubricating material is coated on at least one surface of said substrate. The casting aid may be used to deliver lubricant as needed to gloves or other surface contacting a tacky resin material during molding or forming of the tacky material. In particular, the lubricant-impregnated porous substrate may be used to lubricate gloves during molding and forming of orthopedic casting materials. The casting may be packaged as a kit with an orthopedic casting material.

Abstract: An orthopedic casting material comprising a substrate impregnated with a water-curable resin comprising an aromatic polyisocyanate and a polyol, wherein the free NCO level of said prepolymer is from about 6% to about 10%. Preferably the free NCO level is from about 7% to about 8%. Preferably the polyol has a molecular weight of at least 2,000, and a hydroxyl number of from about 28 to about 56, preferably from about 35 to about 40. The casting material may be packaged as a kit with a casting aid comprising a substrate impregnated with a lubricating material.

Abstract: The present invention provides a lubricant-impregnated porous substrate. The lubricant-impregnated porous substrate may be used to deliver lubricant as needed to gloves or other surface contacting a tacky resin material during molding or forming of the tacky material. In particular, the lubricant-impregnated porous substrate may be used to lubricate gloves during molding and forming of orthopedic casting materials. The lubricant-impregnated porous substrate may be packaged one or more in a container, and the lubricant-impregnated porous substrate may also be packaged as a kit with the orthopedic casting material. The orthopedic casting material preferably comprises a tape or sheet impregnated with a tacky material wrapped around a core, with the core having multiple projections extending radially outward from a central cylinder to hold the sheet away from the surface of the inner cylinder.
