An innovative replacement for plaster for fixing limbs during fractures was presented in Russia

The material is impregnated with a special composition - polyurethane resin, which quickly hardens upon contact with water.

Scientists of the First Moscow State Medical University named after. THEM. Sechenov created an analogue of a modern plaster cast, which is applied for cracks and fractures of bones.

Now you just need to moisten the damaged area with water and apply a new innovative material to it. The new fixing bandage is based on a reinforcing material consisting of fiberglass and polyester, and the threads in it are knitted in such a way that there is no possibility of ruptures.

The main difference between the new material and the plaster we are used to is its rapid hardening, and the antibacterial and antiseptic lining eliminates the risk of infection in case of fixation of open fractures.
