Plaster Application Removal

All wounds need to be adequately dressed/covered before application of a cast. Removing plaster applications, whether it’s fresh (wet) or cured (dry), requires careful handling to avoid damaging underlying surfaces. Here’s a guide on how to effectively remove plaster:

  • Examination
  • Positioning
  • Stockinette
  • Cotton wool padding
  • Plaster application
  • Moulding the plaster
  • Clean the limb
  • Repeat examination

Removing Fresh (Wet) Plaster:

  • Act Quickly: Address excess plaster as soon as possible before it dries completely.

  • Tools Needed: You’ll need a damp sponge or cloth, a putty knife or scraper, and clean water.

  • Wipe Off Excess: Use a damp sponge or cloth to gently wipe away the excess plaster. Be careful not to spread it around too much.

  • Rinse and Repeat: Rinse the sponge or cloth frequently in clean water to prevent plaster residue from redepositing onto the surface.

  • Finish with Detailing: Use the edge of a putty knife or scraper to carefully remove any remaining traces of plaster. Wipe the area clean with a damp cloth.
