Casting - Boxing Glove and Gauntlet Cast

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video demonstrates how to properly apply a short arm cast. First, the arm is positioned in a neutral position and a thumb hole is cut in the stockinette. Cast padding is applied, starting at the wrist and wrapping up to the fingertips, ensuring the fingers are kept bent at a 90-degree angle. Fiberglass is then applied, starting at the wrist and wrapping up through the fingers, leaving one inch between bumpers. The cast is molded using the palm and an interosseous mold, and the stockinette is folded back. Finally, the cast is wrapped with a color roll. To remove the cast, it is cut along the top and bottom.
