What is it indicated for?

Clinitex Cast Padding is a thin mat of interlocked textile fibers used to form a protective pad of multiple layers between the stockinette and orthopedic cast. This protective pad protects the skin, ensures that bony prominences are adequately padded to prevent undesired pressure and/or chafing from the cast and compensates for normal amounts of swelling to the affected area immediately after the injury. The polyester fibers help repel water and dry rapidly.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA 510(k) statement, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
