Orthopedic Casting Stockinette Supplier | Cotton & Synthetic

Orthopedic Casting Stockinette

Under-cast comfort begins with the right stockinette. Supply orthopedic casting teams with consistent, skin-friendly tubular stockinette for every limb size — pediatric fingers to adult full leg.

Short answer

Orthopedic casting stockinette is the protective tubular underliner applied directly to the skin before plaster or fiberglass casting material. It protects skin from cast roughness, prevents pressure sores, and enables comfortable removal. We supply orthopedic departments, hospital procurement teams, and distributors with consistent, quality-tested cotton and fiberglass-compatible stockinette.

Cotton First

Standard choice for routine plaster casting and skin-friendly under-cast protection.

Fiberglass-Compatible

Choose this when the cast system uses fiberglass tape and you want a smoother interface.

Validate Before Bulk

Request a sample to confirm width, feel, and finish before you place a larger order.

Professional healthcare scene: Applying tubular stockinette for orthopedic casting

Layer order for an orthopedic cast — stockinette sits directly on skin, under the padding and rigid outer cast.

❌ The Problem with Wrong Stockinette

Inconsistent width causes bunching under the cast
Rough texture causes skin breakdown and pressure sores
Splices in the knit create pressure points
Wrong size forces improvisation that risks patient safety

✅ Our Solution

±3% uniform diameter tolerance — no bunching
Seamless, non-splicing circular knit construction
Smooth-finish fiberglass-compatible grade available
Full size range 2cm–40cm — every limb, every patient

Selection guidance

Use cotton for most orthopedic casting. Use fiberglass-compatible stockinette when the outer cast is fiberglass and a smoother underlayer matters. If you are unsure about size mix, send the body areas you cast most often and we will recommend the nearest widths.

Orthopedic Casting Stockinette FAQ

What is the standard stockinette for plaster casting? +

100% cotton tubular stockinette is the standard for plaster casting. Non-sterile grade is used for standard orthopedic applications: 2–6 cm for upper extremity (fingers through forearm), 8–20 cm for lower extremity (below-knee through full leg). See our full clinical size chart.

Cotton or synthetic stockinette under fiberglass cast? +

Cotton is the medical standard for most casting. Synthetic (perlon or nylon) is often chosen for allergy-sensitive patients or when long-term cast wear is expected. Our fiberglass-compatible stockinette is specifically designed with a smooth finish for use under fiberglass casting tape.
