Professional-grade fiberglass cast kits and casting supplies for orthopedic cast technicians, medical professionals, and informed patients. Whether you're learning how to apply an arm cast, leg cast, or need supplies for cast changes, OrthoTape.com provides everything you need for proper orthopedic immobilization. Our complete cast kits include fiberglass casting tape, cast padding, stockinette, and gloves—all sized appropriately for each cast type.
Choosing the right cast kit depends on the location and severity of the injury. Each cast type is designed to immobilize specific areas while providing optimal support during the healing process.
Short Arm Cast (SAC): Extends from below the elbow to the metacarpal heads (knuckles), immobilizing the wrist and forearm while allowing elbow movement. The short arm cast is the most common upper extremity cast and is essential for wrist fractures (including distal radius and Colles' fractures), scaphoid fractures, carpal bone injuries, and post-operative wrist immobilization. This cast provides excellent wrist stability while maintaining elbow function for daily activities.
Long Arm Cast (LAC): Extends from the upper arm to the hand, immobilizing the elbow, forearm, and wrist in a fixed position. The long arm cast prevents both elbow and wrist movement, making it critical for elbow fractures, humerus fractures, radius and ulna fractures, severe forearm injuries, and post-operative immobilization after elbow or upper arm surgery. The elbow is typically positioned at 90 degrees for optimal healing and patient comfort.
Short Leg Cast (SLC): Extends from below the knee to the toes, immobilizing the ankle and foot at a 90-degree angle while allowing knee movement. The short leg cast is the workhorse of lower extremity casting, used for ankle fractures, distal tibial fractures, foot fractures and dislocations, severe ankle sprains, Achilles tendon injuries, and serial deformity casting. Can be converted to a walking cast by adding a rubber walking heel, allowing weight-bearing mobility during recovery.
Long Leg Cast (LLC): Extends from the upper thigh to the toes, immobilizing the knee, ankle, and foot in a fixed position. The long leg cast provides maximum lower extremity stabilization for tibial fractures (upper leg), femur fractures, knee injuries requiring complete immobilization, complex lower extremity fractures, and severe ligament injuries. The knee is typically positioned at a slight flexion angle for patient comfort during extended wear.
Medical research shows that short leg walking casts heal patients faster and provide better compliance than removable CAM walker boots. Here's why a fiberglass walking cast with a rubber heel is superior:
Each OrthoTape fiberglass cast kit is carefully assembled with the exact quantities and sizes needed for successful cast application:
Short Arm Cast Kit: 1 roll 3" + 2 rolls 2" fiberglass tape, 1 roll 3" + 2 rolls 2" cast padding, 24" stockinette (sized for adult or child), thumb stockinette, 2 pairs gloves
Long Arm Cast Kit: 3 rolls 3" + 1 roll 2" fiberglass tape, 3 rolls 3" + 1 roll 2" cast padding, 36" stockinette (sized for teen/adult or child), thumb stockinette, 2 pairs gloves
Short Leg Cast Kit: 2 rolls 4" + 2 rolls 3" fiberglass tape, 2 rolls 4" + 2 rolls 3" cast padding, 36" stockinette (sized by gender/age), 2 pairs gloves
Long Leg Cast Kit: 4 rolls 4" + 3 rolls 3" fiberglass tape, 2 rolls 6" + 3 rolls 4" cast padding, 48" stockinette (sized for adult or child), 2 pairs gloves
Orthopedic Cast Shears: Heavy-duty shears designed specifically to cut through hard fiberglass and plaster casts. Note: Cast shears cut the hard outer shell only—you need orthopedic scissors to cut the soft padding and stockinette underneath.
Fiskars Razor Edge Orthopedic Scissors: The preferred scissors of cast technicians for effortlessly cutting through cast padding and stockinette during cast removal. Nothing is sharper—a must-have tool.
Cast Spreaders: Stainless steel tools that slip between cast edges and spread up to 2 inches, allowing safe cast removal with maximum pressure and minimum effort. Features thin grooved jaws and long handles for powerful leverage.
Rubber Walking Heels: Convert short leg casts into walking casts for weight-bearing mobility. Available in 4 styles: #1 Cushioned Tread (maximum grip for active patients), #2 Pedestal (tennis shoe-like tread with natural rocker bottom), #3 Adult (lowest profile for minimal hip displacement), #4 Child (ideal for younger patients).
Delta Fleece Cast Edger: Adhesive fleece padding that protects skin from rubbing against rough cast edges. High-quality adhesive ensures secure placement, and unique stretch allows easy padding around corners and contours for smooth, comfortable cast edges.
Cast Stands: Adjustable stands that support casts during application and drying, ensuring proper positioning and preventing deformity while the fiberglass sets.
Nitrile Casting Gloves: Protect hands from fiberglass resin during cast application. One size fits all, included in all cast kits.
Medical facilities typically charge $200-500+ for casting materials when billed through insurance. By purchasing directly from OrthoTape, you pay wholesale-direct pricing and save $150-400+ per cast. Many patients buy materials in advance and bring them to their doctor's appointment for application, or purchase supplies for scheduled cast changes at midterm.
Most doctors only carry 2-3 basic cast colors because they don't want to maintain large inventories. This means you're often stuck with limited choices, or worse, they're out of the color you want on appointment day. Why limit yourself in color choice for a cast you'll wear for weeks or months? We offer 16+ vibrant colors including specialty prints (camo, teddy bear) so you can choose exactly what you want.
Our fiberglass casting tape is the same professional-grade material—if not better—than what your doctor uses, meeting or exceeding all industry standards. We're direct suppliers to medical facilities, orthopedic clinics, and cast technician training programs nationwide.
Most orders ship same day by 2 PM EST from our Ridgeland, SC 29936 warehouse. Upgrade shipping options available at checkout. Pro tip: Order supplies 1-2 days before your appointment rather than rushing overnight shipping—always plan ahead.
Medical best practice recommends changing casts at midterm to check healing progress and replace worn materials. Having your own cast kit ready for scheduled changes saves time and money while ensuring you get the color you want.
Our team understands orthopedic casting inside and out. We provide video tutorials showing proper application techniques for each cast type, and our customer support is available to answer questions. We support cast technician training programs and informed patients alike.
Does everything I need come with the cast kit? Yes. Each kit includes fiberglass tape, cast padding, stockinette, and gloves—everything needed to apply a complete cast.
Will my doctor apply a cast using materials I bring? Many doctors will apply casts using patient-supplied materials, especially when patients want specific colors not stocked by the office. Call ahead to confirm your doctor's policy.
How fast can you ship? Same-day shipping for orders placed by 3 PM EST. Upgrade options available at checkout. We recommend ordering 1-2 days before your appointment rather than rushing overnight shipping.
What are stockinette and padding made of? We use synthetic materials for optimal comfort, moisture management, and compatibility with fiberglass casting tape.
Can I make a waterproof cast? Yes! Use waterproof cast padding (like AquaCast) instead of traditional padding to create a fully waterproof cast that allows showering, bathing, and swimming.
What's the difference between fiberglass and plaster casts? Fiberglass is lighter, stronger, water-resistant, sets faster, and available in colors. Plaster is heavier, not water-resistant, but provides slightly better molding for complex shapes.
Should I be trained before applying a cast? Yes. Cast application should be performed by trained medical professionals or those in supervised educational training programs. Improper application can cause complications.
