Short answer
Fiberglass-compatible casting stockinette is a smooth-finish, seamless tubular underliner applied directly to the skin as the first layer before fiberglass or plaster casting. The smooth knit surface prevents skin irritation from cast roughness and reduces abrasion — critical for patient comfort, especially in pediatric orthopedic applications.
