Process for preparing a traumatological plastering with damp-proof and hard-wearing properties

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The method for obtaining a traumatological plastering with damp-proof and hard-wearing properties is configured starting from the use of fine gypsum or plaster, said method being traditionally employed in traumatological applications, both of medical and veterinary use, with which, in its first preparation phase, the method of the invention fully coincides with the already known traditional methods.
The differential point from which the novelty and innovation start lies in the fact that when setting the plastered bandage in water, this operation of introduction in a liquid is carried out on the liquid product containing the special products in perfectly calculated amounts, which are water dispersed in the proportions shown in the abstract, or solid products in a powder which would be previously mixed with gypsum or plaster and later incorporated in the bandage.
At the moment of using the bandage, this would be previously immersed in warm water and the products incorporated in the gypsum or plaster of the bandage would then act immediately.
The plastered bandage or plastered strips already treated are normally applied by wrapping in a rapid sequence the corporal segment to be immobilized.
From this moment on, a chemical reaction is created which avoids the gypsum or plaster to crystallize, since it expels a great portion of the water retaining the mass.
The reactions produced imply a true change in the molecular structure of the gypsum or plaster, these materials acquiring, among other properties, a better surface hardness and a different hydrotermic performance, avoiding a continuous exchange of humidity with the environment and the contacting materials.
The gypsum and plaster so treated, once set, exhibit damp-proof and hard-wearing properties giving the user or patient two great positive advantages.
The first advantage offered by a gypsum and plaster bandage so treated is normal hygiene which is comparable with that other perfectly healthy person in that he/she will be able to have a shower or bath, immersing freely the plastered member or corporal segment without being afraid of losing the plastering when entering the water and remaining immersed in it, because a disintegration, separation or loosening process of the material, such as it happens today with the previously known traumatologic plasterings mentioned in the specification in the section corresponding to the related art or The state of the art
