"The main purpose of a plaster cast is immobilization."
"For patients with fractures or ruptured tendons, it promotes healing and recovery better than a simple splint."
"This is especially true for open wounds. Before they've healed, the soft tissue shouldn't be compressed, which makes splints unsuitable for immobilization."
"If you want to avoid further injury as much as possible, lessen the strain of movement, and prevent mobility issues, a plaster cast is the better choice."
After hearing Ji Huan's explanation, Xin Ziqi silently put away the splint he had just taken out.
He hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the object in her hand. "Then this thing of yours..."
"This is a plaster bandage for immobilization."
A plaster bandage is essentially made from starched gauze coated with plaster of Paris. After being soaked in water and wrapped around the affected limb, it hardens and sets in a short amount of time, giving it excellent molding capabilities.
