Why NovaCast Fiberglass Cast Tape Instead of Ordinary Cast?
NovaCast Fiberglass Cast Tape is favoured over traditional plaster casts due to its unique properties. Unlike plaster, which is heavier and more prone to cracking, fiberglass is lightweight, strong, and water-resistant. It offers better ventilation, allowing the skin to breathe while maintaining the necessary rigidity for immobilization. Additionally, fiberglass casts are easier to apply and can be worn more comfortably over long periods.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”27866″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”27874″ img_size=”200×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text text_align=”center” font_size=”14″]
