Fiberglass vs. Plaster Casting — What's the Difference?
Fiberglass casting tape: Lightweight, strong, water-resistant, and available in colors. Sets quickly (3–5 minutes). The standard of care for most fracture management today.
Plaster of Paris: Heavier and not water-resistant, but more moldable and conforming. Still used for initial fracture reduction, serial casting, and custom molds.
OrthoTape carries a full range of orthopedic casting supplies including fiberglass casting tape, cast padding, stockinette, plaster cloth bandages, waterproof cast liners (OrthoH2O, AquaCast, Delta Dry), cast heel shoes, splint kits, and cast care accessories like fleece cast edgers.
What is the difference between fiberglass and plaster casting?
Fiberglass casting tape is lightweight, strong, water-resistant, and available in colors. It sets in 3–5 minutes and is the standard of care for most fracture management. Plaster of Paris is heavier and not water-resistant but is more moldable, making it useful for initial fracture reduction, serial casting, and custom molds.
Does OrthoTape sell casting supplies to clinics and hospitals?
Yes. OrthoTape supplies orthopedic clinics, hospitals, sports medicine facilities, emergency departments, and physical therapy practices with professional casting materials. Bulk ordering is available across all product categories.
What is stockinette used for in casting?
Stockinette is a tubular cotton or synthetic liner applied directly to the skin before cast padding and casting tape. It protects the skin, provides a smooth base for padding, and is folded back over the cast edges to create a finished, comfortable border.
Can OrthoTape casting supplies be used to make a waterproof cast?
Yes. OrthoTape carries three waterproof cast liner systems — OrthoH2O, AquaCast, and Delta Dry — that are applied under standard fiberglass casting tape to create a true waterproof swim cast. These allow patients to shower, bathe, and swim during recovery when approved by their physician.
