TECHFORM 3" Fiberglass Casting Tape — The Most Versatile Size in the Lineup
The TECHFORM 3-inch fiberglass casting tape is the workhorse of the casting room — wide enough for standard arm and leg immobilization, yet narrow enough for precise contouring around joints and bony prominences. The rub-responsive formula gives clinicians a smooth, professional finish on every roll. Available in multiple colors. Sold as 1 roll.
✅ Key Features
- Glides off the roll — smooth, snag-free application for faster casting
- Rub-responsive formula — consistent finish regardless of technique
- Soft, conformable rolls — easy contouring around joints and irregular anatomy
- Excellent lamination — high strength and durability once cured
- Non-abrasive smooth finish — comfortable for patients throughout healing
- Ends lay down and stay down — no lifting or unraveling mid-application
- Waterproof — fiberglass tape itself is water-resistant once set
- Multiple colors available — sample different colors or create a multi-colored cast
🦴 Best Used For

⚠️ 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 the roll sealed in original packaging until the moment of use.
