Description
8 Inch OrthoTape Synthetic Cast Stockinette — Full Roll (25 Yards)
The OrthoTape 8 Inch Synthetic Cast Stockinette is a 25-yard bulk roll of wide-width, soft, breathable, seamless tubular stockinette — the first layer applied under orthopedic casts and splints. The 8-inch width is designed for adult long leg casts, hip spica casts, and large-limb applications. The full 25-yard roll is ideal for high-volume clinics that cut stockinette to length per patient, offering the lowest per-patient cost for large-limb casting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What width cast stockinette do I need for a long leg cast?
An 8-inch wide cast stockinette is the standard width for adult long leg casts and hip spica casts. For adult short leg or long arm casts, 6-inch is typically used. For adult short arm casts, 4-inch is standard.
What is cast stockinette made of?
OrthoTape cast stockinette is made from a soft synthetic polyester blend with a seamless tubular knit construction. It is lint-free, moisture-wicking, and compatible with both fiberglass and plaster casting tape.
How much stockinette do I need per cast?
A typical adult long leg cast requires approximately 24–36 inches of 8-inch stockinette. A 25-yard (75-foot) bulk roll provides enough for approximately 25–37 long leg cast applications, making it ideal for high-volume clinics.
Can cast stockinette be used with waterproof cast systems?
Standard synthetic stockinette is not designed for waterproof cast systems. Waterproof cast applications require a dedicated waterproof liner such as Delta Dry or AquaCast. Standard stockinette retains moisture and should not be used under waterproof cast tape.

I ordered the 3” size tubular under-sleeve but it seemed larger, more like 4” instead. I cut down a piece to use underneath my thumb/wrist cast but it bunched up. It was too late to reorder it in a smaller size because I don’t need to wear the removable cast much longer. It’s very soft material and the cost is very reasonable. Maybe I will think of something to use it for one day.
Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that the 3' size tubular under-sleeve did not fit as expected. Depending on the size of the patient, often wrist and hands will do better with a 2 inch stockinette. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future sizing options. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope it will come in handy for other uses in the future.

I can’t even begin to thank you enough for your generosity in sending me extra product. I am making baby hats for our newborn nursery and delivery room at the hospital I work at for now 43 years and it is so perfect!! I will continue to keep buying this and if there is any way you can give me some kind of estimate on buying it in bigger rolls please let me know. . Thank you again so very very much.

This is a really terrible product. Completely unusable. Tried cutting it so that it would fit over my neck collar and the entire thing peeled and disintegrated. What a mess!
I am so sorry this did not work for you. The product will not stretch that far to go over the head and be used for the neck. It is only a 3-inch stockinette, so it is more for the arm or leg of a smaller adult. We do sell larger sizes, such as 6-inch and 8-inch stockinette.

I am so thankful to find this product on line. I had surgery and cannot drive. The surgeons office didn’t give me enough of these stockinette and with this product I now have plenty and can have a clean one every day!!

Exactly what i was looking for, good quality 👌
A
Too loose and large
Hi, There. I am sorry this product did not work for you. You may want to try the 3 inch size as 4 inch is much larger in size. As for the shipping cost. that is the minumum charge USPS has on small packages. You cannot ship anything cheaper than at that cost. USPS charges for the delivery.
