SMALL ANIMAL CASTING TECHNIQUES

A strip of DELTA-NET Synthetic Stockinet is measured and cut to fit the entire length of the limb. The stockinet provides a protective barrier between the casting material and the limb.
Stirrups made from 1" ZONAS* Porous Tape are applied to the dorsal and palmar or plantar surface of the limb. This facilitates easy cast application by acting as a means to hold the limb while casting. The stirrups are later rolled back and incorporated into the cast to prevent slippage.
