3M Scotchcast Soft 82104 - Soft Cast Roll 10.1cm x 3.6m
3M Scotchcast Soft 82104 is a water-activated, synthetic casting roll designed for comfortable, low-profile immobilization in orthopedic and first-aid applications. Measuring 10.1 cm x 3.6 m, this breathable, fast-setting cast tape conforms easily to contours for a secure, supportive short-arm or short-leg cast and serves as a durable alternative to traditional plaster of Paris.
Key Benefits
- Comfortable, low-profile synthetic cast: lightweight and breathable for improved patient comfort.
- Fast-setting and moldable: allows quick application and precise contouring for immobilization.
- Durable and water-resistant once cured: provides reliable support compared with plaster casts.
- Easy application: conforms to complex anatomy for consistent results in clinical and first-aid settings.
- Versatile use: ideal for orthopedic immobilization, emergency care, and follow-up cast changes.
Ingredients and Materials
Scotchcast Soft is a water-activated synthetic casting tape composed of a resin-impregnated mesh. The tape uses a polyurethane-type resin system combined with a flexible fiberglass or polyester fabric backing to produce a strong, conformable cast material. This combination yields fast-setting, breathable, and durable immobilization. Check product labelling for detailed material specifications and allergy information.
How to Use
- Prepare the limb: apply appropriate padding and positioning per clinical protocol.
- Activate the tape: submerge the roll briefly in tepid water and squeeze excess water evenly.
- Apply: wrap the tape with 50% overlap, smooth and mold to contours. Typical working time allows shaping for a few minutes.
- Setting times: initial handling strength in approximately 3–5 minutes; functional cure in 20–30 minutes depending on temperature and layer thickness.
- Finish: trim edges as needed and allow full cure before weight bearing or heavy use.
Always follow institution protocols and manufacturer instructions when applying and removing casting materials.
Who It9s For
Suitable for clinicians, orthopaedic technicians, emergency responders, and trained caregivers who require a reliable, synthetic alternative to plaster for immobilising fractures, sprains, and post-operative support. Ideal for short-arm and short-leg casts and applications where a low-profile, moldable cast is preferred.
Caution & Storage
Caution: For professional or trained-user application only. Avoid use over open wounds unless directed by a clinician. Monitor circulation, skin integrity and comfort during use. Individuals with known sensitivities to casting materials or polyurethane resins should consult a clinician prior to use. If excessive heat, pain, burning or allergic reaction occurs during application, remove the cast and seek medical advice.
Storage: Store in original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not freeze. Use within the manufacturers recommended shelf life. Dispose of according to local regulations.
