Why Choose BSN Protouch 3-Inch Padding?
When treating pediatric patients or working with smaller anatomical structures, precision matters. The 3-inch width of BSN Protouch padding gives healthcare professionals the control needed for accurate application without excess material. This size is particularly valuable in pediatric settings where proper padding placement is critical for patient comfort and cast integrity.
BSN Medical's commitment to quality ensures consistent performance across every roll, giving clinicians confidence in their casting outcomes. The synthetic material offers reliable cushioning that maintains its protective properties throughout the healing period.
Application Guidelines
Apply BSN Protouch 3-inch padding directly to clean, dry skin in smooth, overlapping layers. For pediatric patients, use gentle technique and ensure adequate coverage over bony prominences. The narrow width allows for precise wrapping around fingers, thumbs, wrists, and small limbs. Apply 2-3 layers for standard protection, with additional padding over pressure-prone areas such as the wrist bones, knuckles, or heel.
Pediatric Considerations
When casting pediatric patients, proper padding is essential for comfort and safety. The 3-inch width allows for appropriate coverage without excessive bulk, which is especially important for maintaining proper cast fit as children grow. Always follow pediatric casting protocols and monitor young patients regularly for signs of discomfort or circulation issues.
Storage & Handling
Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Keep rolls in original packaging until use to maintain cleanliness and product integrity.
Professional Use Only: This medical device is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals with experience in orthopedic casting techniques. Proper assessment, application, and follow-up care are essential for patient safety and optimal treatment outcomes.
