New, from Benefoot, Benecast POP combines all the technician/patient benefits of the finest leno-weave gauze, impregnated with a specially formulated blend of alpha and beta Plaster of Paris crystals incorporating high-grade binders and accellerants. It is then spooled onto a rigid plastic core.

The main benefits of this innovative POP formula are:

• Quicker wetting-out Plastic core provides easier handling qualities and allows rapid, even wetting-out of the bandage upon immersion.
• Additional stability Interlocked leno-weave fabric ensures extra stability during wet stage, making it ideal for moulding around awkward contours. Leno-weave has excellent conformance. It also reduces distortion and creasing during application.
• Better mouldability The exclusive fabric/plaster combination creates a smooth and gently-textured consistency with minimal plaster loss for cleaner, trouble-free handling and improved mouldability.
• Fast setting Improved accellerants produce an initial set within approximately 120-150 seconds for rapid immobilisation. The cast will be fully set after 3-5 minutes. (Usual weight-bearing advice applies.)
• Rigid structure Benecast POP sets to a hard, rigid, aesthetically pleasing structure combining excellent porosity and absorbency qualities. Benecast POP has been specially designed and produced to accommodate all the needs of busy Fracture Clinics, A&E and Theatre Plaster Rooms where the rapid immobilisation of injuries is vital. Where easier handling and application properties are appreciated, and where a smooth even finish is essential.
• Fully protective packaging. Each Benecast POP roll is supplied in a splash-proof flow-wrap. This in turn is sealed into a moisture-proof metallic foil pack to ensure that every roll is maintained in optimum condition ready for immediate use when required.
