Cast Padding Undercast Sifoam™ 8 X 9 Inch Foam NonSterile, 10/BX

It works well where close contouring matters, especially around bony prominences and curved areas, and it is also noted for use with critical diabetic patients. This nonsterile 8 X 9 inch pad has a 3/8 inch thickness and open-cell foam construction.
