A Plaster of Paris (P.O.P.) Bandage Roll 6″ gypsona roll

Purpose & Use

• A Gypsona-type P.O.P. bandage is a premium-grade plaster bandage used for orthopedic casting and immobilization.

• Suitable for fractures, sprains, post-operative support, and casting in orthopedics and emergency care.

• 6-inch width is ideal for forearm, lower leg, and medium limb immobilization.

Material & Quality

• Made of high-quality gauze uniformly impregnated with fast-setting Plaster of Paris.

• Gypsona rolls are known for:

  • Higher plaster content than standard China rolls

  • Smoother finish

  • Stronger and more durable casts

  • Faster setting and drying times

Size & Specifications

• Width: 6 inches

• Length: typically 2.7–3 meters (varies slightly by brand)

• Moisture-resistant packaging to maintain shelf life and prevent premature setting.

Setting Time & Performance

• Fast-setting: begins to harden within 2–4 minutes after wetting.

• Achieves full strength faster than economic-grade P.O.P. rolls.

• Produces a smooth, rigid, and durable cast suitable for long-term immobilization.

Advantages (Gypsona vs Regular P.O.P.)

• More consistent plaster distribution on the gauze.

• Reduced risk of cracking or weak spots.

• Requires less smoothing during application.

• Better contour molding and cast integrity.

• Preferred in orthopedic departments for quality and reliability.
