What Is a POP Bandage?
A POP bandage (Plaster of Paris Bandage) is a medical dressing made from fine gypsum powder coated on cotton gauze. When dipped in water, it forms a smooth, fast-setting cast that hardens quickly to immobilize broken bones or fractures. Also known as a p.o.p. bandage, this essential orthopedic supply ensures reliable fracture fixation with maximum comfort. (Learn more: What Is a POP Bandage and How It’s Used in Orthopedic Care)
