DESCRIPTION
|
|
Casts are used to keep an injured part of the body from moving so it can heal. A cast can be made of plaster or fiberglass. Plaster looks and feels smooth, while fiberglass looks like woven cloth and feels rough on the outside. Fiberglass also comes in many different colors. The cast feels hard 10 to 15 minutes after it is applied. However, it takes 24 hours to dry completely, so be careful with it for the first day, while it still can easily crack.
