Frequently asked questions
What is orthopaedic padding under plaster for?
Orthopaedic padding creates a cushioning layer between the skin and the rigid material of the plaster or splint. It protects bony prominences and superficial nerves against pressure points, while absorbing moisture and allowing the skin to breathe.
What width of padding should I choose for immobilisation?
Width is chosen based on the area to be protected: 5 cm is suitable for fingers and wrists, 7.5 cm for forearms and ankles, and 10 cm for larger limbs such as legs or arms. It is recommended to adapt the width to the limb diameter for easier application.
Can polyester padding cause allergies or irritation?
Polyester fibres are generally well tolerated by the skin and have low allergenic potential. The absence of optical brightening agents in this padding further reduces the risk of skin irritation during prolonged wear.
