The Medifast plaster of Paris bandage is an ideal choice for covering large areas of skin in need of fast temporary medical treatment. The Medifast plaster of Paris bandage is a high quality non-porous quick setting plaster of Paris bandage with an extremely tight weave. It combines a high degree of flexibility with excellent physical properties to provide both a tight sealing surface and an easy pattern change over time. The Medifast plaster of Paris bandage is also known as the Medifast bandages, or more commonly as the Medifast Bandage.

The Medifast plaster of Paris bandages provides both rapid setting and excellent physical properties that make it an excellent solution for covering large wounds and scarring. The Medifast plaster of Paris is a high quality moist proof fast-set plaster of Paris bandage with an extremely tight weave. On a standard body size the bandage is able to maintain its tight formation and compression even when applied over large areas of skin. On average the Medifast plaster of Paris bandage can be moistened to almost 100% of its original setting time by applying the application of a very thin layer of water based bandage over the first few minutes, followed by a thick layer of silicone ointment or emulsion in the next few minutes, after which the bandage is fully set and dried to suit the skin and its absorption capacity.

There are two types of Medifast plaster of Paris plasters. One of these plasters is suitable for use over very wet skin, as well as being able to retain a relatively high degree of flexibility. This plaster of Paris is also good for use over scabs, for example, and has a high level of elasticity for quick set, as well as being highly durable, providing exceptional wear resistance over extended periods. In the final analysis, the plasters most appropriate for Medifast use is the dry plaster of Paris. This has a shorter drying time and is more flexible than the other plaster of Paris products, but it is unable to maintain its elastic property over extended periods of time.

For many years, Medifast consumers have relied on the ability of their plasters to soak. As a result, there are now a number of different ways in which to prepare their bandages for rapid soak and drying. The two main ways to apply Medifast bandages for soaking are as dry or wet bandages. Each of these methods will have advantages and disadvantages. If you are experiencing any difficulties in the application of your Medifast bandages for soaking it may be worthwhile to speak to your pharmacist who should be able to advise you on the best method for your individual needs.

The first option for applying your Medifast bandages for soaking is by dry casting. With this method you need to ensure that you have an appropriate container to house the plaster bandages in such as a clean towel or sanitary towel. Then you simply immerse the plaster into the solution, ensuring that they remain tightly secured within the cast. Once they are saturated you then simply leave them to dry. For maximum benefit, ensure that you do not allow the plaster bandages to become dampened as this will reduce their ability to absorb moisture.

Alternatively, you can also use a hardening agent for the application of your bandages for soaking. These hardening agents can either be applied by brush or with a dropper. Either way, ensure that you follow the instructions carefully to ensure the correct hardening process. You should not perform this process if you are unsure about how long your Medifast soak will take as you risk damaging your plaster or weakening the adhesive.
