Platrix, hard plaster longettes, 4-fold

Platrix, Hard Plaster Longettes, 4-ply

Quadruple-layered hard plaster splints for custom cutting—excellent for shaping.

Description

The Platrix splint version is cut to length and applied as a splint—for partial immobilization or as reinforcement for a circular bandage. They are four-ply and consist of the same material as the bandage: a cotton backing with a special natural plaster mixture.

The properties correspond to those of the Platrix bandage: excellent moldability, minimized soaking loss, optimal consistency after soaking, and high final strength even with just a few layers. The material is brilliant white.

Key Features

• Cotton backing with a special natural plaster mixture
• Four-ply construction, for custom cutting
• Excellent moldability
• Minimized soaking loss, optimal consistency of the soaked longette
• High final strength even with just a few layers
• Bright white
• Not manufactured with natural rubber latex
• Widths from 10 cm to 20 cm at a length of 25 m

Applications

• Primary treatment of fractures
• Partial immobilization as a splint
• Reinforcement of circular plaster casts
• Can be worn for up to several weeks

Summary

Longettes are used when a splint is sufficient or when a circular cast needs to be reinforced. Platrix’s moldability is particularly advantageous here, as the longette is molded directly onto the limb.
