Topic Subject : Belly casting with plaster bandage |
|
Hi Everyone.
Can someone help me with a puzzlement I have had for a while.
In the news here in the UK a few days ago was the case of a school who had been suied for allowing children in a class to make casts of thier hands using plaster of paris. One child put thier hand into a bucket of the mixture and then couldn't remove her hand. She lost all her fingers in the accident, due to burning.
I have seen many websites in the UK and abroad that offer kits to make plaster bandge casts of your pregant belly. Is there a diffrence between the plaster on these bandages and plaster of paris? I can't understand how these bandages can be safly applied to the skin if they contain plaster of paris, which burns skin.
I know that I have spilt wet plaster onto my arm before now and been allerted to it, by the burning sensation. I just can't see how it is safe to use plaster bandage direct onto skin.
Maybe some kind of barrier cream is used that is not obvious on the websites I have been looking at?
Looking forward to getting some feedback.
Regards
Helen Hannah
