Abstract
An improved resin-coated fiberglass knit tape is disclosed which is highly extensible in the lengthwise direction and heat-set to alleviate fraying at cut ends. Heat-setting with essentially no tension on the tape accounts for retention of good extensibility. The invention is especially applicable to the field of orthopedic casting tape.
