Fiberglass casting

Fiberglass casting involves creating a durable, lightweight shell to immobilize broken bones or injuries. A healthcare provider applies a slightly damp fiberglass material over a soft padding that conforms to the limb's shape. Once it hardens, typically within minutes, it forms a strong, rigid support that keeps the bone in proper alignment during healing. Fiberglass casts are preferred for their durability, light weight, and moisture resistance, making them comfortable for patients and effective in promoting proper recovery.
