Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces Dr. Mathysen's revolutionary plaster cast for immobilizing fractured bones. Faster even than typical casts, this groundbreaking invention could be ready within minutes. One advantage over other methods was that the plaster cast, formed from strips of cloth, would not need to be removed for setting, unlike the starch bandages that had been previously used. The author discusses preparation of the cast, including the use of various materials for the cloth binding. Detailed instructions guide you through different techniques for applying the cast on various parts of the body. For extra strength, multiple layers could be applied. Other methods, including one employing Scultetus bandages, are also explained. This volume represents the birth of a new era in immobilizing and healing fractures, and an invaluable tool for any medical practitioner.
