About

Cast Care & Cast Edging Supplies Rough cast edges are one of the most common sources of skin irritation during orthopedic recovery. The Delta Fleece Orthopedic Cast Edger is a soft, flexible fleece strip that folds over the raw edges of a fiberglass or plaster cast, protecting the skin from rubbing, chafing, and pressure sores throughout the healing period. What Is a Cast Edger? A soft fleece strip applied to the open edges of a cast (top, bottom, or thumb hole) Prevents skin breakdown caused by rough or sharp cast edges Commonly applied by clinicians at the time of casting, or added later if irritation develops Works with fiberglass and plaster casts on arm, leg, thumb, and wrist Delta Fleece Cast Edger — Available In: 1 ft sample length — ideal for a single cast edge or trying the product Full Roll (1.25 in. x 15 yards) — for clinics and practices applying cast edging routinely Who Needs Cast Edging?
