How to Apply Gypsona S Plaster Bandages

1. Prepare the limb — Apply stockinette and cast padding before applying plaster.
2. Dip the bandage — Submerge in water until bubbles stop (~3–5 seconds); gently squeeze out excess — do not wring.
3. Apply and wrap — Starting distally, wrap in overlapping layers (50% overlap). Smooth each layer as you go.
4. Mold and shape — Use the palm to mold firmly to the contour of the extremity while still workable. Avoid fingertips to prevent pressure point indentations.
5. Allow to set — Fast Setting: 4–8 min initial, 20–30 min final. Extra Fast: 2–4 min initial, 10–15 min final. Keep limb still until hardened.
