The safer way to do casting

A Modern Casting Solution

Casting and splinting has been stuck with the same messy, toxic, wasteful solutions for fracture care for half a century.

Changing from fiberglass to synthetic fibers doesn't remove the toxic chemicals used in the resin.

Quieter cast saws are still scary, and built-in vacuums don't capture all the dust.

Isn't it time we had a better option?

  • Ditch the gloves

    Dassiet materials are non-toxic and safe to use without gloves or a mask.

  • Start your timer

    Dassiet solutions take 60% less time to apply (on average, based on real user studies).

  • Save the planet

    Our Woodcast material is fully biodegradable (even at home) and our textiles are recyclable in most places.*

*Please check with your local waste services before recycling. :)

Easy as 1, 2, 3

The application process for Dassiet products couldn't be easier - just 5 minutes to your first cast or splint.

Heat

Use a Dassiet Procast heater to warm the Woodcast material until soft.

Wrap

Cut to size and shape, wrap around the patient, and allow to cool (2-5 minutes).

Strap

Add any edge finishing and straps and apply to patient. Done!

How is Dassiet different?

Let's compare fiberglass and Dassiet head-to-head.
