Description
BSN Medical Delta Lite Plus Fiberglass Casting Tape is a water-activated orthopedic casting tape designed to deliver strength, durability, and ease of application. Its advanced polyurethane resin system creates a tack-free working surface, allowing clinicians to apply and mold the cast comfortably using standard examination gloves. The fiberglass substrate provides excellent lamination and a smooth finish that helps reduce snagging on clothing and bedding.
