Cast Padding

Cast Padding & Undercast Padding – Comfort Meets Performance

OrthoTape cast padding is engineered for both ease of use and patient comfort. Each cast padding roll delivers a smooth, cushioned layer under plaster or fiberglass casts, conforming seamlessly to the skin to eliminate ridges and ensure a snug, professional undercast surface. Whether you need undercast padding for a short arm cast, long leg cast, or pediatric application, our rolls are available in multiple widths and materials to match your clinical workflow.

Why It's Comparable to BSN Protouch

We designed our cast padding to match several standout features of BSN's Protouch line:

• Moisture-wicking synthetic fibers keep skin dry by drawing moisture away — just like Protouch
• Soft, high-loft cushioning ensures patient comfort and protection, matching the plush feel of Protouch padding
• Outstanding conformability and feathering help prevent ridges and deliver a smooth, professional finish under the cast
• For synthetic options: odor resistance, latex-free construction, and autoclavable packaging for sterile use — comparable to the Protouch Plus line

Key Highlights

• Available in synthetic or rayon undercast padding blends
• Multiple cast padding roll widths for upper and lower extremity applications
• Exceptional moisture control and odor resistance
• Plush cushioning and protective loft
• Smooth application with minimal ridging
• Ideal for sterile or everyday clinical settings

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cast padding used for?
Cast padding — also called undercast padding — is applied directly over the skin before a plaster or fiberglass cast is applied. It protects the skin from pressure, friction, and moisture throughout the wear period.

How does OrthoTape cast padding compare to BSN Protouch?
OrthoTape cast padding rolls are engineered to match the key performance features of BSN Protouch, including high-loft cushioning, moisture-wicking fibers, and smooth conformability — at a competitive price point for clinical and hospital use.

What is the difference between cast padding and stockinette?
Stockinette is a tubular fabric applied first as a base layer. Cast padding (undercast padding) is applied over the stockinette to provide cushioning and protection before the hard cast material is applied.

Is OrthoTape cast padding latex-free?
Yes. OrthoTape cast padding is latex-free and available in both synthetic and rayon blends, suitable for patients with latex sensitivities.
