Fiberglass cast is made of light and incredibly strong material. The fiberglass casts are lightweight and have stronger construction, quicker curing time, reduced heat exposure, and radiolucency in the radiological image. The fiberglass is less dull as compared to plaster of Paris. Also, it is water resistant that helps patients avoid discomfort and constraints on daily activities. Additionally, fiberglass casts can help patients mobilize faster by allowing early weight-bearing due to their stronger construction. Casts made of fiberglass material require less maintenance than those made with plaster. The fiberglass is usually fitted when the bone is not out of position or when the healing process has already started. Therefore, fiberglass cast will be preferred over Plaster of Paris. Fiberglass materials form the hard supportive layer in cast and splints. Advances in casting and casting materials related to fiberglass, such as the use of fiberglass tape and polyester tape, offer high patient compliance in terms of ease of removal with a cast saw blade, smooth lamination, improved X-ray transparency, and availability in attractive colors and patterns, which is expected to significantly boost the adoption of fiberglass for casting and splinting products in the coming years.
