Plastercast bandages

[Sheets Tabuer]

Are they available to buy? I've never seen them in a chemist (not that I've looked before)

Local hospital have said they are going to stop offering serial casting so I thought I might as well give it a go myself.

You mean the bandages impregnated with plaster of paris?

You can get them through medical suppliers (there is a shop near here that sells that stuff) or any art shop will have them.

Look at FX make-up supply shops as they are used for casting.

I don't sell them on my site, but can get them for you if you wish me to price some up for you.

I'm sending the OH to art shops tomorrow, will let you know how we get on

what are you planning to cast?

My sons legs, I need to talk to his physio 1st but every so often we get it done at the hospital but they are refusing to do it now as it costs too much.

They have offered to cut his achilles tendons though to stop his feet pointing down

Thing is with physio etc he is all right but after a quick growth spurt we need help with casting to keep his feet in place for say 48 hours.

Mother is a nurse and has offered to do it.
