An avid soccer player, you rush toward the opponent's goal, dribbling at full speed, when a defender tackles and knocks you down and breaks your leg. Now, on a stretcher, all you can imagine is the uncomfortable idea of wearing a cast on your leg - in the sizzling summer, the smell from the sweat, itchy and festering skin, a heavy and stiff leg to walk with.... Your pain begins to move from your leg to your head.
New plaster cast with remarkable ventilation and strength
Phil Cast, produced by Mika Medical, is an orthopedic fixing tape made of glass fiber or polyester fabrics and water hardening resins, which enables the tape to start hardening immediately after it is exposed to the air, as the moisture in the air becomes combined with the tape.
After wetting the bandage-like tape and wrapping it around the injured area, Phil Cast hardenes in 3-5 minutes, and after about 20 minutes, it becomes hard enough to support the weight.
The fabric of Phil Cast has outstanding elasticity that is over 30 percent higher than other similar products, and it is not only comfortable for the patients but also very smooth, which improves the finish of the cast after application.
The excellent penetration of X-rays allows doctors to make an accurate judgment of the patient's recovery and observe even minute fractures with clear pictures.
Despite being 20 times stronger than conventional plaster casts and over 20 percent stronger than polyester products, Phil Cast quickly lets out the moisture with great ventilation while keeping the cast light yet strong for a long time.
Easy to remove as well, this product certainly reduces the pain that fracture patients have to endure.
