How to use

1. Submerge the rolled bandage in room-temperature water until air bubbles stop rising.
2. Remove excess water by gently squeezing the roll without wringing it.
3. Unroll and apply smoothly around the limb or area to be immobilised, overlapping each turn.
4. Smooth and mould the bandage by hand while it is still workable to achieve the desired shape.
5. Allow the cast to set and cure fully before bearing weight or applying pressure, as advised by the healthcare professional.
