Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video demonstrates how to apply and remove an ulna gutter cast. To apply the cast, ensure the wrist is in a neutral position and cut a thumb hole on one side of the stockinette. Place the stockinette over the arm and smooth out any wrinkles. Wrap padding around the wrist, hand, and fingers, making sure there is adequate coverage. Apply a fiberglass splint on the ulnar side of the hand, wrap it with fiberglass, and mold it to the desired shape. Fold down the stockinette on the pinky and ring fingers and make cuts to fold back the stockinette. Mold the cast using your palm, ensuring the stockinette remains smooth. Finish by wrapping with a color roll to secure the cast. To remove the cast, cut along the top and bottom following the lines drawn in the video.
