It is similar in function to a splint. Plaster bandages consist of a cotton bandage that has been combined with plaster of paris , which hardens after it has been made wet. Plaster of Paris is calcined gypsum roasted gypsum , ground to a fine powder by milling. When water is added, the more soluble form of calcium sulfate returns to the relatively insoluble form, and heat is produced.

Doctors have two main types of casts: fiberglass and plaster. Fiberglass casts are lightweight, durable and porous enough to let air circulate to your foot or ankle. They're the number one choice if your doctor needs to X-ray your limb while it heals.
