in weight per unit area of fluid resin is impregnated onto the base fabric any excess is removed the impregnated fabric is heat treated and then cooled and then wound around drum 9 the product is then cut into sheets of a certain set width and length by using a slitter machine the sheets are then rolled into coils with a heat resistive film such as polyethylene polypropylene nylon polyester or polyvinylchloride films sandwiched between the layers and finished as a rolled setting bandage the thermoplastic bandage prepared in the above described manner can be applied onto the body in the following manner the coiled bandage is soaked in hot water for 3 to 5 minutes to be heated to about 70 u00b0 c softening the impregnated resin and rendering it to be sufficiently self adhesive the bandage is taken out of the hot water and any excess water is removed the bandage is applied to the injured portion of the body on which a material such as cotton bandage sponge non woven cloth or felt has been applied as a cushion the bandage is wound 3 to 4 layers thick meanwhile the edges and angles can be adjusted after this the wound bandage is cooled naturally or by force to allow it to solidify into a strong rigid and shockproof setting cast as can be observed from the above description as well as the illustrative examples the bandage is softenable at relatively low temperatures 55 u00b0 80 u00b0 c and will adhere to itself therefore it can readily fit any portion of the body and because of its manipulatability at low temperatures and the possibility of putting additional layers on previously wound bandage.
