Casting

Casting

Medical casts are devices to protect and support fractured or injured bones and joints. Until the injury heals, they serve as a restraint on the injured area. In most cases, they are made of plaster or fiberglass that can be molded to fit the shape of the injured area. Casts can be used in a variety of medical settings. They can support broken bones immediately following an injury to reduce swelling and following surgery for support.

The cast keeps the injured leg or arm away from the heart to drain fluids. You can also put ice above the injury on top of the cast to help with the pain as there are different types of casts based on the materials used to build them. If you want something that isn't very heavy, fiberglass is the best choice because it comes in many different patterns, colors, and designs. Making a plaster cast costs less and is easier to shape.
