The BSN Rapidur Plaster of Paris Bandage 15 cm x 2.7 m is a professional orthopedic casting bandage designed for use in plaster-of-Paris cast applications. It consists of a cotton-based bandage incorporating Plaster of Paris, which hardens after wetting to form a rigid cast for appropriate immobilization procedures. Current product information lists Rapidur for immobilizing fractures and injured joints and for correction of certain deformities.

The 15 cm width and 2.7 metre length make this variant suitable for casting applications where broader coverage is required. Rapidur is designed to provide a smooth, moldable consistency during application, allowing trained healthcare professionals to shape the cast according to the body area being treated. Product information also describes minimal powder loss and a durable cast structure.

This 12-roll pack is particularly suited to hospitals, orthopedic departments, trauma centres, clinics, physiotherapy and rehabilitation facilities, and other healthcare environments where POP casting materials are routinely required. It is a professional-use medical product and should be applied by appropriately trained healthcare personnel according to the manufacturer's instructions and clinical protocol.

Why Choose This Product?

Plaster of Paris Casting Material

BSN Rapidur is specifically designed as a POP casting bandage rather than a conventional support or compression bandage.

Easy Molding

Its plaster-impregnated construction is designed to develop a workable consistency after wetting, allowing the cast to be shaped around the required body contour.

Reliable Cast Formation

The plaster hardens after activation with water, creating a rigid structure suitable for immobilization when correctly applied.

15 cm Wide Format

The wider 15 cm format can be useful for casting applications involving larger areas or limbs.

12-Roll Pack

The 12-roll pack is convenient for hospitals, orthopedic clinics, trauma facilities and other professional healthcare settings with regular casting requirements.

Professional Orthopedic Application

Rapidur is intended for orthopedic casting and immobilization applications rather than everyday first-aid wrapping.
