BSN Protouch Synthetic Cast Padding – 4 Inch x 4 Yards | 12-Roll Pack

BSN Medical Protouch is a professional-grade synthetic undercast padding trusted by orthopedic clinics, hospitals, and urgent care centers worldwide. This listing is for the 4-inch width in a 12-roll pack — the standard width for short arm, ankle, and short leg casting, and widely used by athletic trainers as cast padding for sports applications.

Why Synthetic Cast Padding Replaced Cotton Cast Padding

For decades, cotton cast padding was the standard in orthopedic casting. Synthetic polyester padding — like BSN Protouch — was developed to address cotton's core limitation: moisture retention. Cotton absorbs sweat and holds it, creating a warm, damp environment under the cast that leads to odor, skin irritation, and padding breakdown. Synthetic padding wicks moisture away from the skin, keeping the cast environment cooler and drier throughout the wear period.

Cast Padding for Sports & Athletic Use

Beyond orthopedic casting, cast padding for sports has become a popular application. Athletic trainers and sports medicine staff use 4-inch cast padding rolls as extra cushioning under shin guards, ankle braces, knee sleeves, and protective tape. The 4-inch width provides excellent coverage for ankles, lower legs, and larger joints. Synthetic cast padding is preferred for sports use because it wicks moisture during activity and dries faster than cotton alternatives.
