Cast Padding and Stockinette for the Skin Protection Layer
Cast padding and stockinette form the layer between the skin and the casting tape, protecting the limb and finishing the cast edges. This subcategory stocks tubular stockinette in finger, arm and leg widths and rolled undercast padding in synthetic and cotton, across the common roll widths. These are among the highest-turnover consumables in a casting room and are stocked for fracture rooms, orthopedic clinics and emergency departments.

Undercast Layering
The undercast layer is built by pulling stockinette over the limb, then wrapping padding over the stockinette to cushion the limb before casting tape is applied. Padding material is matched to the casting tape in use, with water-resistant synthetic padding stocked for fiberglass and cotton padding for plaster. Each product page lists the width, material and roll count so procurement can stock a complete undercast range.
Cast padding and stockinette are the highest-volume consumables in the casting room, replenishing fastest of any casting SKU as fracture rooms and orthopedic clinics turn over cases. Because padding and stockinette are consumed on every cast application, standing orders and consolidated case pricing across the width range keep the cast cart stocked for materials management.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between cast padding and stockinette?
Stockinette is a soft tubular fabric pulled over the limb as the first layer against the skin, extending beyond the cast ends to fold back over the edges. Cast padding is a rolled undercast material wrapped over the stockinette to cushion the limb before casting tape is applied. Both are stocked in the common widths and are used together as the skin protection layer under a cast.
What widths of cast padding and stockinette are stocked?
Cast padding is stocked in the standard roll widths (commonly 2, 3, 4 and 6 inch) and stockinette in the standard tubular widths for fingers, arms and legs. Synthetic and cotton padding are both stocked. Each product page lists the width, material and roll count for the item.
What is the difference between synthetic and cotton cast padding?
Synthetic (polyester) padding is water-resistant and is commonly stocked for use under fiberglass casts. Cotton padding is more absorbent and is stocked for use under plaster and where a cotton surface is preferred. Both are stocked in the common roll widths so procurement can match the padding to the casting tape in use.
Can hospitals order cast padding and stockinette in bulk?
Yes. Cast padding and stockinette are stocked in case quantities for hospitals, orthopedic clinics, fracture rooms, emergency departments and licensed distributors. These are among the highest-turnover casting room consumables and carry standing order programs. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What cast padding and stockinette should be in a facility formulary?
A cast padding and stockinette formulary typically stocks undercast padding in the common roll widths in both synthetic and cotton, tubular stockinette in finger, arm and leg widths, and a water-resistant padding option for fiberglass casts. Facilities match padding material to the casting tape they run and stock a full width range. MAP Medical builds consolidated cast room formulary packages matched to facility type and case volume - contact our team for an assessment.
