Description
Gypsona S Plaster Splints by BSN Medical are the professional-grade choice for both medical immobilization and artistic molding. Each pre-cut 5" x 30" slab features a plastic core to prevent shriveling and an interlocking leno weave gauze for superior structural stability — delivering smooth, creamy plaster of Paris application every time. The extra length makes this size ideal for longer limb applications and full torso body casting.
What Are Plaster Splints Used For?
🏥 Medical Applications
The 5" x 30" width and length make this splint ideal for larger extremity immobilization. Orthopedic clinicians use Gypsona plaster splints for:
- Posterior Leg Splints – for tibia/fibula fractures and ankle injuries
- Sugar Tong Splints – for distal radius and forearm fractures
- Coaptation Splints – for humeral shaft fractures
- Long Arm Splints – for elbow and forearm injuries requiring extended coverage
- Ulnar Gutter Splints – for 4th and 5th metacarpal fractures (boxer's fractures)
- Stirrup/U-Slab Splints – for ankle fractures and severe sprains
🎨 Artistic & Creative Applications
The 5" x 30" size is a favorite for larger body casting projects where wider, longer coverage is needed:
- Belly Casts – pregnancy keepsake casting with full coverage strips
- Torso & Body Molds – full chest, back, and torso casting
- Face Masks & Life Casts – theatrical, cosplay, and fine art applications
- Large Sculpture Armatures – rigid support structures for large-scale mixed-media art
- Prop Making – film, stage, and Halloween costume props requiring larger panels
