Insights
Support bandages and casts immobilize injured limbs. Declining practical skills in applying these, especially plaster casts, are noted due to increased surgical fracture treatment in children. This review covers materials and indications.

Abstract:
Support bandages and casts are used to immobilize and stabilize limbs after various types of injuries that require appropriate immobilization. Depending on the type of injury, different types of support bandages/casts and different materials are used. Due to the increasing surgical treatment of fractures in children, we are observing a decline in the practical skills needed to properly apply supportive bandages, particularly plaster casts. In the following, the different materials of support bandages and their properties are presented as well as their corresponding indications.
