Dave Littig, CPO explained how to make a cast at last week's AOPA meeting. Littig works with ST&G, a manufacturer of casting tape, orthopedic products, and prosthetic supplies. His lecture explained the benefits of C-Form, an elastic stretch cast tape.
Members from the audience participated during the presentation by volunteering to be casted.
"This cast material conforms easily to complex shapes which is important in orthotics and prosthetics," Littig explained. "This is like no other casting material; it's inexpensive and versatile."
