Plaster of Paris Bandages

Algeos' plaster bandages are used in the medical sector, for manufacturing sterile plaster bandages, limb supports, medical prosthesis and hearing aids. In this domain, our plasters are chosen for their excellent quality and grade, and capacity to accurately reproduce limbs, both in shape and dimension.

Bandages are manufactured through a process involves soaking a woven fibre material in a plaster solution, which is subsequently dried. Plaster bandages are fast and practical to use; soaked in water, the moistened bandage is applied to the limb, hardening rapidly, to form a resistant casting, which does not lose shape.

Modelling plasters are used in Orthopaedics as impression and modelling compounds. Limbs are moulded in plaster to serve as a pattern for artificial limbs. Plaster also serves to cast limbs or articulations which will facilitate the fitting of prosthesis.

These excellent plaster bandages offer enhanced mouldability for casts applied in circular turns, for immobilisation after fractures, othopaedic corrections and for treating general joint and bone disorders.
