Gypsona HP Plaster of Paris Bandages

Gypsona HP from BSN Medical is a professional-grade plaster of Paris bandage used to build strong, well-molded casts and splints for immobilizing fractures, sprains, and orthopedic corrections. For clinicians who still rely on traditional plaster, Gypsona remains a trusted name because of its consistent setting behavior and the smooth, durable shell it produces once cured.

The BSN Medical Gypsona S Plaster Bandage in this collection measures 8 inches by 15 feet and is made from plaster of Paris on a plastic-reinforced fabric backing. The generous 8-inch width makes it well suited to larger applications — thigh and long-leg casts, body jackets, and wider limb work — where fewer wraps mean faster, cleaner buildup and fewer edge seams.

Practitioners choosing plaster often ask how it compares to synthetic fiberglass. Plaster of Paris like Gypsona is prized for its excellent moldability: it conforms intimately to anatomy and is easier to fine-tune during the working window, which is why it's frequently preferred for initial reduction casts, serial casting, and correction techniques where precise shaping matters more than the light weight fiberglass offers. It is applied by dipping the roll in room-temperature water, gently squeezing, and wrapping smoothly while laminating each layer before the plaster begins to set.

Keep bandages sealed and stored in a cool, dry place, since humidity can compromise setting quality before use. Whether you're casting in an orthopedic clinic, an emergency department, or a therapy setting, Gypsona delivers the reliable, well-known performance that has made it a standard in plaster casting for decades.
