Webril Cast Padding

Webril cast padding from Cardinal Health is the 100% cotton undercast padding that clinicians reach for when a cast or splint needs a soft, protective interface against the skin. Its non-woven cotton construction lays down smooth and lint-free, molds cleanly around ankles, wrists, and other contours, and won't bunch or ridge the way lesser paddings do — which is exactly what matters when a patient will be living inside that cast for weeks.

What sets Webril apart is its high absorbency and even thickness. The fibers wick moisture away from the skin and distribute pressure uniformly, reducing the hot spots and pressure points that lead to skin breakdown under plaster or synthetic casting tape. Because it applies with a consistent, controlled stretch, you get predictable padding thickness roll after roll — no guesswork under a fiberglass overwrap.

Choosing width and sterility

Widths in this collection run from 2-inch and 3-inch rolls for fingers, wrists, and pediatric limbs up to 6-inch rolls for larger arms and legs, all cut to a standard 4-yard length. The right choice comes down to the anatomy you're padding: narrower rolls conform better around joints and digits, while wider rolls speed coverage on long-bone applications.

Sterility is the other decision. Sterile Webril — such as the individually packaged 2-inch (2283), 3-inch (2394), and 6-inch (2554) rolls — is intended for use over open wounds, post-surgical sites, or any application where the skin barrier is compromised. For routine casting over intact skin, the non-sterile Webril Undercast padding (item 3489, sold in convenient bags of 6) is the economical, high-volume choice for busy orthopedic and cast-room settings.

Whether you're stocking a fracture clinic, an ER, or a sports-medicine practice, keeping a range of Webril widths on hand ensures you're ready for everything from a thumb spica to a full leg cast.
