History
3000 B.C. when crude splints wereconstructed from bark and palm ribs and heldtogether by gum, egg whites, goat's wool,clay and plaster
860 A.D., an Arabian physician mixed limewith egg whites, to create a hard mixture
16th century, doctors in the Turkish Empire
covered broken bones in gypsum, leavingopenings for plugs of wood and greased cork.When the cast dried, the plugs were removedto allow ventilation and outlets for swelling.Once the swelling decreased, liquid gypsum
filled in the holes.

FINALLY
"Plaster of Paris," named after the plasterdeposits near the French capital, wasdeveloped a few years later.
plaster molds attached to the injury via anelaborate array of bandages. By 1852,"Plaster of Paris" powder was rubbed intocotton bandages that were then soaked inwater and applied directly to the limb.
Although this cast had to be kept dry, and wasstill heavy and burdensome for patients towear, "Plaster of Paris" bandages remainedthe standard casting material for more then
one hundred years.
