OrthoTape 3" Fiberglass Cast Tape | 10-Roll Box | Wrist, Ankle & Arm Casting

OrthoTape Premium Fiberglass Cast Tape – 3 Inch | 10 Roll Box

OrthoTape Premium 3-Inch Fiberglass Casting Tape is the most versatile width in the OrthoTape lineup — the clinical standard for wrist, ankle, forearm, and short arm casting. The 10-roll box is the preferred format for high-volume orthopedic clinics and emergency departments. We are a small business that specializes exclusively in orthopedic casting products, and that focus shows in every roll we ship.

Why Clinicians Choose OrthoTape Over the Big Brands

Fiberglass casting tape replaced plaster of Paris bandages in orthopedics in the early 1980s — and the technology has evolved significantly since then. OrthoTape was built on over 20 years of direct feedback from clinicians who told us exactly what they needed: better conformability, lower-temperature removal, more color options, and a price that doesn't punish smaller practices.

• Same manufacturing source as premium brands — produced at the same facility as leading professional-grade casting tapes, giving you equivalent quality at a significantly lower cost.
• Engineered with 20+ years of clinician feedback — refined based on real-world input from orthopedic surgeons, PAs, casting technicians, and veterinarians.
• Outperforms budget brands — unlike CNF or McKesson-branded casting tape, OrthoTape uses premium-grade fiberglass fabric and high-quality polyurethane resin.
• Competes with top-tier brands — matches or exceeds the performance of 3M, Delta Lite, and Techform-class casting tapes at a fraction of the cost.
• More color options than anyone else — 14+ vibrant colors including options specifically designed for pediatric appeal.

🌟 Coming Fall 2026: Fiberglass Camouflage Casting Tape

Until now, camouflage and decorative patterns could only be printed on polyester casting tape — known for poor conformability, inconsistent lay-down, and a rough finish. OrthoTape has developed a proprietary process to print directly on fiberglass fabric — something no other manufacturer currently offers. Superior conformability at a competitive price point. Watch for the launch in Fall 2026.

Lower-Temperature Cast Removal — Especially Important in Pediatric Orthopedics

OrthoTape's premium fiberglass construction generates less friction during cast saw removal, meaning less heat transferred to the blade and lower temperatures felt by the patient. This matters most in pediatric orthopedics, where children are often frightened of the cast saw. Lower-quality tapes create more friction, more heat, and a more stressful removal experience.
