Kangda® cast-fiberglass consists of knitted fiberglass fabric that
impregnated with a water-activated polyurethane resin. Kangda®
splint-fiberglass consists of the upper and lower side of the
non-woven fabrics and intermediate multilayer knitted fiberglass
fabric that impregnated with a water-activated polyurethane resin.
Application Methods for Regular Type: 1. The doctor should wear the
surgical gloves. 2. Wrap stockinet and cotton cast padding over the
part that needs fixing. 3. Choose the cast of proper size and open
the pouch. 4.Immerse the cast in room temperature water (*1~*4℃)
for **3 seconds and squeeze it **3 times to make it fully saturated
then remove the redundant water. 5. Wrap spirally, overlapping the
previous layer by 1/**2/3 width of the cast. To maintain proper
tension is very important. If it is too loose, the adhesive force
will weaken; if it is too tight, the blood circulation will be
disturbed. The strength can be determined by the number of layers.
The non-weight bearing part needs 3~4 layers and the weight bearing
part needs 5~6 layers. 6. To achieve good adhesive force between
layers and make sure close fit with limbs, the cast can be molded
by rubbing and smoothing its surface after wrapping. (Molding is
easier after touching water by hands.) 7. The operation time is
generally within 3 minutes. Setting time is about **5 minutes and
achieves functional strength in *0 minutes. Make sure the patient
not to move the affected region before the product is fully
hardened. 8. Remove with electric plaster saw and the user should
know well operation not to hurt patients. Cautions: ◎The affected
region must be covered by cotton padding and the doctor should wear
medical gloves while applying the cast to avoid the polyurethane
resin sticking to skin and clothes. If it sticks to skin, use
alcohol cotton balls to erase it at once. ◎Check packing for any
damage or holes, that can no longer use when part cast becomes
hard. ◎Curing requires suitable temperature. If the temperature is
high and the curing time is short; if the water temperature is low
and the curing time is long. Too high or too low water temperature
will affect the curing effect. ◎Extending soaking or operating time
affect the adhesion between the layers and shaping effect. ◎Use at
once after opening and shape, when multi-volume casts are used to
ensure adhesion between the layers ◎Instruct patient to try not to
get wet bandages during treatment, so as to avoid skin irritation.
◎The product should be stored in a ventilated place at *5~*0℃and
under *0% RH. ◎The application of the cast must be under the
operation or direction of the qualified doctor. ◎Mfg. Date is
marked on the package. Use it before the date. The shelf life is
three years.
