NEMOA™ CAST

FEATURES OF NEMOA™ CAST
Nemoa™ Casting tape is composed of a specially knitted, multi-directional stretch fiberglass or polyester fabric impregnated with polyurethane resin.
Designed for use in the production of definitive orthopedic casts and splints.
It is also suitable for use in specialized prosthetic and orthotic devices.

Hygienic
Nemoa™ Cast is light weight, durable and water resistant. The open weave allows the skin to ‘breathe’, decreasing sweating, itching, maceration and resulting body odours.

Conformability and Moldability
The multi-directional stretch of the Nemoa™ Cast enables easy application and conforms well to the body contours without the need for tucks or folds. The low tack resin coating allows easy molding.

Radiolucency
Excellent X-ray translucency negates the need to remove casts in order to obtain a clearly detailed film image for diagnostic purposes. The minimal ‘image obscuring’ also enables decreased radiation exposure.

A VARIETY OF COLOURS

ORDER CODE

STORAGE

• Take care to avoid puncturing the pouch, for this will cause the tape to harden prematurely in the package.
• It is recommended that this product be stored at the dry place below room temperature. 
• NOTE : Storage at higher or lower temperatures may affect the shelf-life and handling properties of the product. 
• NOTE : Product stored at high or low temperatures should be allowed to return to the room temperature before application. And each pouch should be gently squeezed prior to opening to check suitability for application. 
• Do not use the tape that feels hard.
• The shelf-life of Nemoa casting tape stored by the above method is about two years.

PRECAUTIONS

• Disposable Poly-Gloves should be worn while handling the tape, for the polyurethane resin in Nemoa casting tape products will adhere firmly to unprotected skin and to clothing.
• Swabbing lightly with alcohol or acetone may help in removing the resin contact with the skin and cast equipment if done immediately.
• If the bandaged casts are in the wet state, the casts must be dried carefully by a kind of Towel or portable Hairdryer, for prolonged or too frequent wetting or ineffective drying, can lead to skin maceration or other complications.
• This casting material imposes fewer restrictions on patients than a heavy plaster cast. Therefore patients should be cautioned against vigorous activities which may interfere with proper healing or cast care.
