Abstract:
This paper describes an investigation to evaluate the properties and uses of the different casting materials available for small animals. After a consideration of the properties that make an 'ideal cast', clinically relevant tests were performed on tubular casts of the various products. No single product demonstrated consistent superiority by all the criteria. All the products tested can be useful in a variety of situations, and suggestions for their uses are set out.
