Casting - Sugar Tong Cast (Muenster Cast)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video provides instructions on how to apply a sugar-tong cast. The process involves maintaining a neutral wrist position and cutting a thumb hole in the stockinette. Padding is wrapped around the arm, covering the wrist, hand, and elbow. Fiberglass is then applied, starting at the wrist and wrapping towards the forearm. The cast is molded to conform to the hand and elbow. A second roll of fiberglass is applied, overlapping the first and covering the elbow with fan folds. The cast is finished with a color wrap. To remove the cast, it is recommended to cut along the top and bottom following the instructions in the video.
