Instructions for Use:

When used with synthetic casting tape, Nemoa Ever Fresh helps to keep the skin dry and clean thanks to the excellent air permeability and water repellent qualities. Even after a bath and shower, the water drains freely out of the cast and the permeability allows for sweat vaporization, leaving the skin feeling dry and refreshed.

Average drying time after shower – one and a half to two hours.

Gypsum

During the 19th century, plaster bandage is being used. It is made of bandages rolls dipped in plaster. When wetting the cast, it gets softer and allows a deformation. After several minutes the cast becomes harden, while heating it. The cast becomes dry all around whileat inside it takes up to 24 hours to dry.

After casting, it shouldn't be wet again - it breaks apart in water and it isn't benefit.

Scotch-Cast

It's made of a synthetic material and weights about 30% of the plaster cast weight.

It is waterproofed. Dipping it into water (in bath or pool) is possible.

Soft-flex-cast

It is made of two synthetic materials. One of the materials is light, elastic and airy, which is streched around the casted limb, and the other material is haren - it affixes the damaged area only.

The soft-flex-cast is being placed on to of a thick airy stockinet, right on the casted limb, with no cotton padding.
