Video Summary

This video provides instructions on how to apply a cast to the arm. It starts with placing stockinette on the arm and creating a thumb hole. Padding is then wrapped around the hand and arm to provide cushioning. Fiberglass is applied over the padding using different wrapping techniques. The stockinette is folded back and extra padding is added over the elbow. The fiberglass is molded and wrapped up the arm. The process is repeated for a colored roll of fiberglass to strengthen the cast. The video concludes with instructions on how to mold the cast and how to remove it.
