Delta-Lite Fiberglass Casting Tape Individually Wrapped Rolls

Traditional plaster casts are messy, heavy, and slow to set—compromising both clinical efficiency and patient comfort. Delta-Lite fiberglass casting tape offers a superior alternative: a water-activated, lightweight system that sets quickly and maintains structural integrity throughout the healing process, ideal for orthopedic practices, emergency departments, and sports medicine clinics.

Key Features

• Knitted fiberglass substrate impregnated with polyurethane resin creates a rigid, breathable cast that weighs significantly less than plaster alternatives
• Water-activated application works like traditional plaster but sets faster, reducing patient wait times and streamlining clinical workflow
• Individually wrapped rolls maintain product integrity until use, preventing premature activation and reducing material waste in high-volume settings
• Available in 2-inch and 3-inch widths to accommodate pediatric extremities, adult limbs, and complex anatomical contours
• Smooth finish allows easy overcoating with additional layers for reinforced support in weight-bearing or high-stress fracture cases

Specifications

Ideal For

• Orthopedic clinics managing fracture immobilization, post-surgical stabilization, and corrective casting procedures
• Emergency departments requiring fast-setting casts for acute injuries including wrist fractures, ankle sprains, and forearm breaks
• Sports medicine facilities treating athletes who need lightweight, low-profile immobilization that accommodates active recovery
• Pediatric practices where smaller widths fit children's limbs and faster setting reduces anxiety during application
• Urgent care centers needing reliable casting materials that balance ease of use with clinical performance

What's Included

• 10 individually wrapped fiberglass casting tape rolls per box (choice of 2" x 4 yard or 3" x 4 yard)

Care Instructions

• Store rolls in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and humidity to prevent premature resin activation
• Check expiration dates before use; expired tape may not achieve full structural integrity
• Wear protective gloves during application—polyurethane resin adheres to skin and is difficult to remove once activated
• Immerse roll completely in room-temperature water for 3-5 seconds; excess water delays setting and weakens final cast
• Apply immediately after activation—working time is 3-5 minutes before tape becomes too rigid to shape
• Smooth each layer firmly to eliminate air pockets and ensure lamination between wraps
• Do not allow patient to bear weight on cast until fully cured (20-30 minutes post-application)

FAQs

Q: Can I use this tape over stockinette and padding like traditional plaster?

A: Yes. Apply cast padding and stockinette first to protect skin, then wrap the activated fiberglass tape over the padding using standard casting technique with 50% overlap between layers.

Q: How many rolls do I need for a typical adult forearm cast?

A: Most adult forearm casts require 2-3 rolls of 3-inch tape. Pediatric applications or finger splints may only need 1-2 rolls of the 2-inch width.

Q: What's the difference between the 2-inch and 3-inch widths?

A: The 2-inch width suits pediatric extremities, fingers, and areas requiring precise contouring. The 3-inch width covers adult arms, legs, and larger surfaces more quickly with fewer wraps.

Q: Does this tape require special removal tools?

A: Yes. Remove fiberglass casts using an oscillating cast saw with appropriate blade. Never attempt to cut with scissors or shears—fiberglass will damage blades and resist manual cutting.

Q: How long can patients keep a fiberglass cast dry before it weakens?

A: Once fully cured, fiberglass casts tolerate incidental moisture better than plaster, but prolonged submersion (bathing, swimming) can compromise padding and skin integrity. Instruct patients to keep casts dry or use waterproof barriers.
