Plaster bandage with a perforated core for rigid immobilization—dries quickly, highly moldable.

Description

Specialist E is a plaster bandage for cases requiring rigid immobilization. The perforated bandage core is a key design feature: it allows water to pass through more easily, thereby speeding up application and drying.

The bandage is durable and highly moldable. It consists of a cotton backing with a special natural plaster mixture and is also available as a longette for custom cutting.
