Hold the bandage slanted about 45°, and immerse the bandages in the water for 3 to 5 seconds only. On average, using the proper method of application, it takes 3 to 8 minutes for the plaster to harden depending if the bandage is normal-setting or fast-setting. When setting the plaster bandage, use clean tap water in 22°– 25☌ (72° – 77° F). Plaster bandages remain the most common method of protecting orthopedic fractures due to the rigid structure and ease of application. Our bandage is highly moldable with short water immersion and setting time for our fast-setting XtraGuard product series. When the bandage is exposed to water, a chemical reaction occurs that hardens the plaster. Plasters of Paris are widely used in hospitals and clinics for orthopedic purposes to protect and immobilize a broken limb. If you have allergic reactions such as itchiness or rashes, immediately stop the use of the bandage and contact your doctor. The plaster bandage is not a commonly known allergen, however, depending on the sensitivity of the person, it may cause allergic reaction.
