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 — our fiberglass cast tape is produced at the same facility as leading professional-grade casting tapes, giving you equivalent quality at a significantly lower cost to your clinic and your patients.
• Engineered with 20+ years of clinician feedback — we have refined our formula and construction based on real-world input from orthopedic surgeons, PAs, casting technicians, and veterinarians.
• Outperforms budget brands — unlike some lower-cost alternatives (such as CNF or McKesson-branded casting tape), OrthoTape uses premium-grade fiberglass fabric and high-quality polyurethane resin. Budget brands may cut costs with lesser-quality materials, resulting in inconsistent set times, poor conformability, and weaker structural integrity.
• Competes with top-tier brands — OrthoTape 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, with more on the way.

🌟 Coming Fall 2026: Fiberglass Camouflage Casting Tape

OrthoTape has developed a proprietary process to print directly on fiberglass fabric — something no other manufacturer currently offers. The result is a camouflage fiberglass cast tape that conforms perfectly to the contours of the body, delivers a smooth, professional finish every time, and eliminates the problems associated with polyester-based printed tapes. Compare this to Delta Prints from BSN Essity — priced at a significant premium and known to conform poorly around bends and curves. 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, resulting in lower temperatures on the blade and less heat felt by the patient. This is especially important in pediatric orthopedics, where children are often frightened of the cast saw. Lower-temperature, smoother removal reduces anxiety and improves the overall patient experience.

Key Features & Clinical Benefits

• Fast setting time — sets in 3–5 minutes, reducing patient wait times
• Lightweight & strong — 4× lighter than plaster (fiberglass plaster cast equivalent)
• Water-resistant — patients can shower without compromising cast integrity
• Breathable construction — porous fiberglass promotes air circulation, reduces skin irritation
• Radiolucent — allows clear X-ray imaging without cast removal
• 14+ colors available — vibrant options for patient preference and pediatric appeal
• 3-year shelf life — when stored properly in original sealed packaging

⚠️ Storage, Handling & Safety — Important

• Always wear gloves when handling. This product contains polyurethane resin that can irritate skin on contact. Nitrile or latex gloves are recommended.
• Do not open the package until you are ready to apply. Once opened, the polyurethane resin begins to activate upon contact with moisture in the air (humidity) or water. The tape will harden and cannot be reversed once activated.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
• Keep rolls sealed in original packaging until the moment of use.
• Properly stored tape maintains optimal performance for up to 3 years.
