SS White Casting & Splinting Supplies

The SS White collection brings together the orthopedic immobilization products clinicians reach for when a fracture, sprain, or post-reduction injury needs solid support. The core of this range is fiberglass casting and splinting from 3M Scotchcast and Ortho-Glass — the two names most emergency departments, orthopedic clinics, and urgent care centers stock by default.

Fiberglass has largely replaced plaster for good reason: it sets faster, weighs less, holds its strength once cured, and tolerates a light water exposure far better. If you're deciding between products here, the split is straightforward. 3M Scotchcast Plus Cast Tape (available in 2-inch and 4-inch widths, 4-yard rolls) is a rigid circumferential casting tape for full immobilization. Scotchcast Soft Cast offers a semi-rigid alternative when you want support with slight give — useful for pediatric cases or injuries where some flexibility is preferred. For splinting rather than full casts, Ortho-Glass pre-padded rolls and precut splints (like the 4 x 30-inch OG-430PC) let you build a custom splint quickly without separate padding, which speeds application and reduces the chance of pressure points against the skin.

Width selection follows the anatomy: narrower 1- to 2-inch tapes for fingers, wrists, and pediatric limbs; 3- to 4-inch rolls for forearms, lower legs, and larger adult applications. Padded splint rolls such as the OG-2L2 (2 in. x 15 ft.) are a practical stocking item because a single roll covers multiple splint lengths.

The collection also carries a few adjacent items you'll find in the same clinical settings — an A-T Surgical elastic truss for hernia support, ResMed-compatible CPAP filters, and disposable foam beverage cups — reflecting the broad-line nature of this catalog.
