Description:

• Gypsona* BP Plaster of Paris Bandages are made from a specially woven cloth, uniformly impregnated with the finest quality, fast setting plaster of Paris. The bandage is spooled on a round core for superior bandage stability. Moisture proof packaging improves the protection of the bandages.

Features:

• Rapid immobilisation of fractures
• Leno cloth for good conformability
• Round cores for improved bandage handling
• Low plaster loss
• Moisture proof packaging

Benefits:

• Rapid fracture immobilisation 
• The fast setting plaster of Paris used on Gypsona bandages ensures that fractures can be rapidly immobilised, especially important in accident and emergency departments, operating theatres and busy fracture clinics. 

Leno cloth:

• The interlocked weave of this cloth makes the wet bandage more stable and conformable, to mould around awkward contours. The leno cloth also helps to minimise plaster loss.

Round cores:

• The introduction of round cores to Gypsona plaster of Paris bandages improves the stability and handling characteristics of the wet bandage, which is particularly important on wider sizes. The round core design ensures good 'wetting out' of the bandage.

Moisture proof packaging:

• Each bandage is packed in a splash proof flow wrap.

Indications:

• Emergency trauma splinting
• External circumferential immobilisation of fractures, provided there is no risk of swelling
• Orthopaedic conditions
• Total contact casting - diabetic feet

Gypsona is a specially woven cloth bandage uniformly impregnated with plaster of Paris. It sets quickly to give strong immobilisation and can be easily moulded around award contours.
