A Soft Bandage—frequently known in surgical and orthopedic environments as orthopedic cast padding, undercast padding, or Sof-Roll—is a highly conformable, non-woven medical consumable layer.
Unlike compression bandages designed to hold dressings or restrict movement, a soft bandage serves primarily as a protective, cushioning barrier between a patient's skin and rigid structural layers, such as fiberglass or Plaster of Paris (POP) casts, or heavy splints.
