Plaster Bandages

After a bone fracture, stability is the most important thing so that the bone can grow back together well. That is why a plaster cast is absolutely necessary here. But plaster casts can also be used to immobilize strains or inflamed joints. A plaster cast, which mostly consists of a base, padding, plaster layer and cover, should be applied by trained medical professionals. If the fracture affects the leg, arms, hands or fingers, for example, bandage splints are often used here. With the help of a fixation splint, the corresponding part of the body is fixed and yet maximum mobility is guaranteed. In our online store you will find all the plaster bandages you need for the clinic or practice. In addition, we carry zinc paste bandages in various sizes and widths. These are mainly used for chronic venous diseases or after-treatment of fractures, and offered here by Meddax24 online individually or in practice or clinic packaging.

Bone fractures are a long-term issue and require specialized treatment. The most common type of fracture is a radius fracture. Reflexes cause people to instinctively break their fall by extending their hands, which is why collarbone fractures rank second, followed by upper arm fractures in third place. Stability is the most important factor after a bone fracture, as it ensures proper healing. This is why a plaster cast is essential. Depending on the type and location of the fracture, fixation splints may also be used. These significantly ease daily life—after all, it would not only be extremely cumbersome but also counterproductive to keep an injured arm in a fixed position without support. A fixation splint provides stable support while allowing for maximum mobility. The plaster cast was invented in 1851 by a Dutch army doctor. However, since prehistoric times, it has been known that a broken bone must be supported and splinted to ensure it heals as straight as possible. What clay and mud once accomplished in ancient times, plaster casts now provide in modern medicine.
