McKesson Cast Tape Fiberglass Green 3 in x 4 yds 10 Pack Set

Description

Product Overview

McKesson Cast Tape, Fiberglass, Green, 3 in x 4 yds, is engineered for professional medical environments where reliability, speed, and patient comfort are paramount. The tape is constructed from high‑grade fiberglass fibers that provide exceptional tensile strength while remaining flexible enough to conform to complex anatomical contours. Each roll measures three inches in width and four yards in length, delivering ample material for a full‑length cast without the need for multiple pieces. The green resin coating is formulated to become rigid within approximately twenty minutes after activation with water, allowing clinicians to begin weight‑bearing activities shortly after application. The breathable weave permits air circulation, reducing moisture buildup, odor, and skin irritation, which contributes to a more pleasant patient experience. Product dimensions are 12 × 5.5 × 6 inches, weighing 3.8 pounds per pack, and the package includes ten individual rolls, totaling ten packs for bulk usage in busy orthopedic departments. With a 4.8‑star rating from ten verified reviews, the tape demonstrates consistent performance and satisfaction among healthcare professionals.

Usage

This fiberglass cast tape is suited for a wide range of orthopedic applications, including fracture immobilization, post‑surgical support, and corrective bracing. Its rapid‑set characteristic makes it ideal for emergency rooms, urgent care clinics, and orthopedic surgery suites where time efficiency can directly impact patient outcomes. The tape adheres securely to both bone and soft tissue, providing a stable framework that distributes load evenly across the injured area. Because the material is lightweight, patients experience less overall cast weight, facilitating easier mobility and reducing fatigue during rehabilitation. The breathable design also helps maintain skin health during extended wear periods, making it appropriate for both short‑term splinting and long‑term casts. Clinicians can use the tape on limbs of varying sizes, from pediatric to adult patients, thanks to its stretchable nature and ability to mold around irregular surfaces without compromising structural integrity.
