Polymer and plaster bandages. Plaster bandage: application, manufacture, application and care

If it is not possible to consult a doctor for medical care in case of a fracture, gypsum is performed at home. Correctly applied cast will relieve pain loved one will protect the wound from possible complication and will allow you to postpone a visit to the doctor without harming your health. To avoid mistakes when applying a plaster cast, it is enough to choose the right materials and follow certain rules.

How to apply a cast without the help of a doctor?

To apply plaster at home, the following materials are needed:

  • medical plaster in powder form,
  • scissors,
  • bandages, gauze of various sizes, cotton wool,
  • warm water in a small bowl.

How to apply plaster correctly, it is better to know in advance.

Gypsum powder is added to water in a ratio of 1:1. After stirring, check the rate of solidification of the mass. The quality of the gypsum will be optimal when forming a solid mass within 6 minutes without the formation of crumbs.

A wide bandage or gauze is rolled out in one layer and a plaster solution is rubbed into them. Then dressing folded in several layers and placed in ready solution with a temperature just above the human body.

When the fabric is completely saturated, it is slightly wrung out. Now the bandage is completely ready for use.

How to put a plaster on your hand?

For fractures upper limbs the victim must take a stable position. The bandage does not squeeze the skin, but at the same time it should fit snugly over the entire surface.

Rules for applying plaster on the hand:

1) a plaster cast is applied so that one edge is covered by each subsequent one;

2) the formed folds are straightened in a timely manner;

3) bone protrusions are leveled with a layer of cotton wool;

4) not only the fracture area is bandaged, but also the adjacent areas;

5) drying takes about 25 minutes, during which the limb is completely immobilized;

6) it is not allowed that the hand, fingers become bluish, you must not squeeze them.

After applying the plaster should not cause discomfort. The edges of the plaster cast after drying can be cut off so as not to create inconvenience to the victim.

Quote from Marriette

Quite often, the use of this material to create a surface texture, including bottles, is mentioned - frozen draperies look very nice. More recently, I published a post Monetized gift bottle with a hint (top two pictures), with the option of using napkins. The same bottles can be made using a plaster bandage.

Plaster bandage can be used as an independent material for modeling. The following is the development of a lesson on creating a decorative fairy-tale house with detailed description how to work with this material.

Plaster bandage - is a strip of gauze with a fixed (using PVA) medical plaster, 10.15 and 20 cm wide, 3.0 m long, which are folded into rolls and hermetically packed in polyethylene film, one bandage per bag.
The method of use described in the instructions for use of the plaster bandage is an important guideline in the use of this material. We will strictly adhere to this instruction!
1. It is recommended to use water at room temperature (about 20 degrees). Although it is possible to use water with a temperature of 0 to +35 C.
2. The depth of the soaking water container must ensure that the roll is completely vertically immersed.
3. Without releasing the bandage from your hand, lower it into the water, preferably vertically, to ensure full and quick exit air from the roll, since the complete wetting of the bandage occurs in 1-2 seconds, for which special components are included in its composition, accelerating this process to facilitate working with it.
4. Remove the bandage from the water, squeezing it out slightly, without fear that the plaster mixture will flow out. Required amount the plaster will still remain on the bandage.
5. The thickening time, after which modeling and adding water is unacceptable, is 1.5 ... 2 minutes. after soaking. Primary strength occurs after 2-3 minutes. Period from 5 to 7 min. characterized by intense heat release.
The final strength comes after the complete drying of the water from the plaster bandage. Complete drying time depends on parameters environment and temperature of the body on which the bandage is applied.
It should be remembered!
weak spin (left a large number of water in a roll) during the soaking process results in a slightly longer setting and drying time;
strong spin (small amount of water) - to the difficulty of modeling.
Setting time of plaster bandage different manufacturers different, but no more than 8-10 minutes.

On a sheet of paper with a pencil, draw the silhouette of our bottle. Mentally imagine how you can turn what you have drawn into a fabulous house - we will determine where the door, windows, roof, chimney will be. Now we are trying to draw a house on a sheet. Add details: bench, canopy over the door, threshold, animals, etc. At the first stage, the bottle must be tightly glued with pieces of bandage, for this we cut off the pieces, equal circles bottles plus 2-3 cm. Pasting takes place in several stages from the bottom up, usually two pieces of bandage are enough - for the main lower part and for the neck.

Pasting directly takes place as follows: we take the cut piece with both hands at the corners, completely dip it into a container with water, quickly take it out, unfold it and immediately, without pressing it, press it against the glass surface. Stroking smoothes the surface and removes wrinkles.

Set the sealed bottle aside. For further work, hands must be washed and wiped dry.

Cutting out details from a bandage for decorating a house.
Knowing the properties of a plaster bandage to harden after moisture ingress for a very short time, we prepare all the details in advance. We put the sketch in front of us and, following the drawing, proceed.
We start with the most voluminous elements. IMPORTANT! When wet, the bandage shrinks!
First of all, we make a blank for the door. We determine the size, cut off a large piece of the bandage and fold it 3-4 times, i.e. 6-8 layers are obtained. We try, we postpone. Loops - two pieces in three layers. Postpone. Door handle - twist a small piece then into a ball. Postpone. In the same way, we prepare a canopy over the door, a threshold and thin flagella for windows and bindings in them, a long steering wheel for a drainpipe and holders for it. Enough for now! WE REMOVE the bandage away from the water.

The turn of the most creative stage has come. Attaching elements. You need to glue quickly and clearly! We take the door blank and quickly dip it completely into the water, straighten it and apply it to the bottle, press it firmly and align it with our fingers along the perimeter. If you immediately draw strips on the door from top to bottom with a toothpick, you will get an imitation of dividing the door into boards. Next, looking at the sketch, we glue the rest of the details: a canopy, a threshold, a drainpipe, windows, hinges and handles, pre-wetting them with water.

.

Another very material-intensive detail is the roof. We make the roof by folding the bandage many times and trying it on to the house.
We wet the roof detail in water and quickly sculpt the desired shape by applying it to the top of the bottle.
Our house is fabulous, so we add fabulous paraphernalia: walking boots at the entrance on a bench (if you blinded it), Baba Yaga's stupa, an owl on the roof or Bayun's cat on a visor above the door, a bucket of living water, a mouse-louse, flowers of a fabulous shape and size ... Animals are formed from pieces of bandage after wetting with water from separate parts: head, torso, paws, tail, ears. We form the details with our fingers, giving desired shape and applying to each other, the joints are smoothed with wet fingers.
We make objects from pieces of bandage folded several times. For example, we sculpt a bucket from a folded strip, closing it into a ring and gluing the bottom. We sculpt the handle separately.

We cover the dried product with a primer for a plaster surface. An unprimed gypsum surface absorbs moisture very strongly, which contributes to its destruction and the formation of fungi and mold on its surface.

Substances introduced to increase the elasticity of the material are called plasticizers. Elastic bandages impregnated with a polymer (polyurethane resin or PVA) are used in traumatology as first aid (to fix limbs in case of injuries). This is the most modern replacement for classic plaster bandages.

QUICK-SETTING GYPSUM BANDAGE (BSH)

According to the time, how much the gypsum dries, there are types: ordinary and BSH. Fast setting polymer bandage good alternative, because it forms a stable strong form within 2-4 minutes.

  1. Careful preparation of materials.
  2. Soak the bandage in water at room temperature. The use of hot liquid is not recommended.
  3. Wet bandage should be slightly wrung out. Gypsum is a highly hygroscopic material that readily absorbs moisture. If the wringing is bad, the drying time will increase, if it is strong, it is difficult to make the desired shape.
  4. Bandage quickly, the bandage should not dry out.
  5. The circular bandage is applied properly (in a circle).
  6. The number of layers in the longet and the overlay method depends on the place of its use.

HOW TO APPLY ON HAND?

Before plastering, the limb should be thoroughly washed so as not to introduce an infection. Each layer should cover the previous one, the limb must be carefully fixed. Dried gypsum should not squeeze the hand.

HOW TO APPLY ON THE LEGS?

The rules are the same as when applying to the upper limb.

POLYURETHANE BANDAGE (SYNTHETIC)

Polyurethane bandage Orthoforma Cast-hard fixation, Orthoforma Soft Cast - soft hold, a modern alternative to the traditional plaster bandage.

Polyurethane bandage (polymer, synthetic) Orthoforma Cast and Orthoforma Soft Cast- is a new modern immobilizing material for traumatological and orthopedic purposes.

Polymer bandage used for immobilization of various segments of the musculoskeletal system after injuries and operations accompanied by damage bone structure and capsular-ligamentous apparatus
(fractures, dislocations, subluxations) - it is lighter, moisture resistant, breathable and has low radiopacity.

Synthetic polyurethane bandage Orthoforma Cast, Orthoforma Soft Cast - soft and hard fixation ( polymer plaster) differs significantly from the classic plaster cast:

Polymer bandage is 5 times lighter, non-allergenic and non-toxic.

The polymeric immobilizing bandage is able to “breathe”, which makes it more comfortable and practically indispensable when applied to large areas of the limbs, since maceration and itching do not occur.
Immobilizing bandage made of polymeric material does not interfere with the use water procedures(if the patient does not have open wounds), and the polyurethane bandage itself is not afraid of moisture, does not get wet and does not swell from wound discharge and medicinal solutions, easy to clean and disinfect.
The polymer bandage is comfortable to wear (invisible under clothing).
Splints made of polyurethane bandage Orthoforma have extensibility in all directions (longitudinal, transverse, diagonal), which allows you to apply a bandage that ideally matches the surface of the human body in the area bony prominences, such as knee cap, elbow, ankle, heel, without the formation of folds and bends. It has radiopacity (does not interfere with radiodiagnosis).
Applied quickly and easily.
In order to avoid contact with the skin and squeezing soft tissues, a shin stocking and mineral wool are placed under the polyurethane bandage (or you can use a regular gauze bandage in two turns).

Used for many years, uncomfortable plaster bandages with fractures, dislocations, stretch marks are a thing of the past. Many people have appreciated this fixing material as an alternative to uncomfortable and unsightly plaster.

POLYMER BANDAGE METHOD OF APPLICATION, ORTHOFORMA POLYMER BANDAGE:

1. Open the aluminum bag (it is better to wear gloves to protect your hands). For convenience, while wearing, it is advisable to put on an under-shin stocking on the immobilized limb and wrap it in one layer with mineral wool.
2. Place the roll of fixing bandage in water at room temperature (21-25°C) for 5-10 seconds, then it is recommended to wring out the roll 2-3 times (the higher the water temperature, the shorter the setting time)
3. The splint is applied in a spiral fashion for 2-3 minutes. Each next turn should capture half or 2/3 of the width of the previous one.
4. Model the tire and give it necessary form. Time of final acquisition of rigidity 25-30 minutes.
5. It is not recommended to apply more than 6 layers (this may lead to poor ventilation)

1. It is recommended to use water at room temperature (about 20 degrees). Although it is possible to use water with a temperature of 0 to +35 C.

On a sheet of paper with a pencil, draw the silhouette of our bottle. Mentally imagine how you can turn what you have drawn into a fabulous house - we will determine where the door, windows, roof, chimney will be. Now we are trying to draw a house on a sheet. Add details: bench, canopy over the door, threshold, animals, etc. At the first stage, the bottle must be tightly glued with pieces of bandage, for this we cut off pieces equal to the circumference of the bottle plus 2-3 cm. Pasting takes place in several stages from the bottom up, usually two pieces of bandage are enough - for the main lower part and for the neck.

Pasting directly takes place as follows: we take the cut piece with both hands at the corners, completely dip it into a container with water, quickly take it out, unfold it and immediately, without pressing it, press it against the glass surface. Stroking smoothes the surface and removes wrinkles.

Set the sealed bottle aside. For further work, hands must be washed and wiped dry.

Cutting out details from a bandage for decorating a house.
Knowing the properties of a plaster bandage to harden after moisture ingress for a very short time, we prepare all the details in advance. We put the sketch in front of us and, following the drawing, proceed.
We start with the most voluminous elements. IMPORTANT! When wet, the bandage shrinks!
First of all, we make a blank for the door. We determine the size, cut off a large piece of the bandage and fold it 3-4 times, i.e. 6-8 layers are obtained. We try, we postpone. Loops - two pieces in three layers. Postpone. Door handle - twist a small piece then into a ball. Postpone. In the same way, we prepare a canopy over the door, a threshold and thin flagella for windows and bindings in them, a long steering wheel for a drainpipe and holders for it. Enough for now! WE REMOVE the bandage away from the water.

The turn of the most creative stage has come. Attaching elements. You need to glue quickly and clearly! We take the door blank and quickly dip it completely into the water, straighten it and apply it to the bottle, press it firmly and align it with our fingers along the perimeter. If you immediately draw strips on the door from top to bottom with a toothpick, you will get an imitation of dividing the door into boards. Next, looking at the sketch, we glue the rest of the details: a canopy, a threshold, a drainpipe, windows, hinges and handles, pre-wetting them with water.

.

Another very material-intensive detail is the roof. We make the roof by folding the bandage many times and trying it on to the house.
We wet the roof detail in water and quickly sculpt the desired shape by applying it to the top of the bottle.
Our house is fabulous, so we add fabulous paraphernalia: walking boots at the entrance on a bench (if you blinded it), Baba Yaga's stupa, an owl on the roof or Bayun's cat on a visor above the door, a bucket of living water, a mouse-louse, flowers of a fabulous shape and size - Animals are formed from pieces of bandage after wetting with water from separate parts: head, torso, paws, tail, ears. We form the details with our fingers, giving the desired shape and applying to each other, the joints are smoothed with wet fingers.
We make objects from pieces of bandage folded several times. For example, we sculpt a bucket from a folded strip, closing it into a ring and gluing the bottom. We sculpt the handle separately.

We cover the dried product with a primer for a plaster surface. An unprimed gypsum surface absorbs moisture very strongly, which contributes to its destruction and the formation of fungi and mold on its surface.
