Very often, the need for a traditional cast means limitations in professional work, physical activity, and the need to cancel vacation plans. Applying a cast almost always comes with many restrictions, such as the inability to shower or go swimming. Hot days can be especially difficult, as wearing a traditional cast may become uncomfortably warm.
An ideal solution that facilitates daily functioning during fracture treatment may be HM CAST. It is a woven mesh of cylindrical fibers made of polyester impregnated with polyurethane resin. Exposure of HM CAST to moisture or water initiates a chemical reaction that causes the material to harden. The final, hardened HM CAST is lightweight, and its special weave creates a breathable structure that minimizes itching and eliminates unpleasant odors. X-rays easily penetrate the mesh, allowing for detailed monitoring of the bone healing process.
Benefits of HM CAST:
- A tubular immobilization system that allows patients to maintain daily hygiene, shower, bathe, or enter a swimming pool without requiring additional protection.
- HM CAST is made from polyester fabrics and is specially woven to ensure excellent ventilation, minimizing itching and unpleasant odor.
- Its flexibility allows it to adapt to the shape of the patient’s body without the risk of pressure points.
- HM CAST provides excellent radiolucency, enabling doctors or radiologists to assess the bone healing status at any time.
- This type of immobilization offers exceptional patient comfort, as it is significantly lighter than conventional plaster casts.
- HM CAST is made from polyester and spandex impregnated with polymer resin—materials that are hypoallergenic and skin-friendly.
