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.
