Plaster bandage 15cmx2,7m farmaban

Composition and technical characteristics

Farmaban's 15cm x 2,7m Plaster Cast Bandage is made of gauze impregnated with calcium sulfate hemihydrate, allowing it to set quickly upon contact with water. Its textile structure ensures even distribution of the plaster, facilitating efficient and safe application in veterinary clinical settings.

Measuring 15 cm wide and extending to 2,7 meters in length, this bandage covers large anatomical areas, making it especially useful for medium to large animals. It is a sterile, single-use product designed to provide rigidity and structural support during immobilization.

Clinical applications in veterinary medicine

Farmaban Plaster Casts are used especially in orthopedic procedures requiring temporary or prolonged immobilization of limbs, joints, or specific areas of the animal's body. They are suitable for making splints and casts in cases of fractures, dislocations, or post-operative stabilization.

Given its rapid setting time, it allows for agile handling during the clinical procedure, reducing application time and minimizing stress in the veterinary patient.

How to use

1. Prepare the anatomical area to be immobilized, ensuring proper cleaning and drying.
2. Submerge the bandage in warm water (20-25 °C) for a few seconds until it starts to release bubbles.
3. Gently squeeze out excess water and apply directly to the area, shaping with your hands to ensure proper anatomical fixation.
4. Allow to set for 3-5 minutes. Full hardening is reached in approximately 30 minutes.

Advantages of the product

• Fast setting that facilitates effective immobilization in urgent clinical situations.
• High rigidity after drying, guaranteeing structural support.
• Easy handling and anatomical adaptation.
• Compatible with other complementary orthopedic materials.

Conservation recommendations

Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture. The container must remain sealed until use to prevent premature activation of the plaster. Do not expose to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
