Which of the following is used for wrapping of fractured bones? A)White cement B)White lead C)Zinc oxide D)Plaster of Paris
Option D) Plaster of Paris is a plaster made by calcining gypsum. It can be used to impregnate gauze bandages to make a sculpting material called modroc. It is used similarly to clay, as it is easily shaped when wet, yet sets into a resilient and lightweight structure. This is the material which was (and sometimes still is) used to make classic plaster orthopedic casts to protect limbs with broken bones.
