The Johnson & Johnson Specialist Stockinet is a premium orthopedic tubular stockinette used as the initial undercast layer beneath cast padding and casting materials. Made from soft, high-grade unbleached knitted cotton, it provides a smooth, comfortable barrier between the skin and the casting system. The tubular construction stretches to conform to the limb and folds back over cast edges to create a clean, finished border. The 2 inch width is suited for wrists, hands, smaller limbs, and pediatric applications. Sold as a 25-yard roll in a dispensing box.

Orthopedic clinics and casting rooms will find this stockinette well-suited for wrist, hand, and smaller limb casting applications where a reliable, soft undercast layer is essential. Pediatric casting settings benefit from the 2 inch width and gentle unbleached cotton. Emergency departments and urgent care facilities performing fracture and sprain casting appreciate the dispensing box format for clean, efficient access during procedures. Sports medicine and athletic training facilities applying upper extremity splints and casts will find the 2 inch width well-matched for wrist and hand immobilization.
What is the role of stockinette in a casting application?
Stockinette is applied directly over the skin as the first layer before cast padding and casting material. It protects the skin from rougher padding textures and prevents adhesion to skin hair. The excess at each end is folded back over the finished cast edges to create a smooth, padded border that prevents the raw cast edge from irritating the skin.
Why is unbleached cotton used for orthopedic stockinette?
Unbleached cotton retains its natural fiber structure without chemical processing, providing a soft, natural surface. The knitted construction adds stretch and conformability, allowing the stockinette to fit smoothly over the limb without bunching or creating pressure ridges under the cast.
Is the 2 inch width appropriate for adult casting?
The 2 inch width is primarily used for adult wrists, hands, and forearms, as well as pediatric lower extremity casting. For adult lower extremity casting, wider stockinette (3, 4, or 6 inch) is typically used. Stock multiple widths to cover the full range of casting applications in your facility.
How do I use the dispensing box?
Pull the stockinette through the box opening in a controlled manner during application. The box keeps the remaining roll clean and contained between uses. Store in a clean, dry location away from moisture to maintain cotton fiber integrity.
