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.
