Trusted Solutions for Wound Care and Casting
Wound care and casting decisions carry real consequences: the wrong dressing slows healing, and a poorly fitted total contact cast can create new pressure injuries instead of offloading the one it was meant to treat. Integra LifeSciences has built a strong clinical reputation across both of these categories, and MediDepot carries the brand's MEDIHONEY wound dressing line alongside its TCC-EZ and Mede-Kast total contact casting systems, giving wound care and orthopedic teams a single source for advanced dressings, casting materials, and the tools that support them.
What makes this collection valuable to clinical buyers is the range covered under one trusted name. From manuka honey-based hydrogel dressings for chronic and hard-to-heal wounds to complete total contact casting kits for diabetic foot ulcers and Charcot foot, Integra's product line addresses distinct but related clinical needs that many wound care and podiatry practices manage side by side.

Inside the Collection: Casting Systems & MEDIHONEY Dressings
MediDepot's Integra LifeSciences collection spans three main clinical categories: total contact casting, MEDIHONEY wound dressings, and general wound care and surgical supplies.
Total Contact Casting Systems
The TCC-EZ Total Contact Cast System is available in 3-inch and 4-inch widths, in configurations with or without a boot, as single applications or in cases of 5 or 10 casts, and with one or two boots included depending on the kit. The Mede-Kast GS II Total Contact Cast is offered as a complete kit with 10 casts per case, while the Mede-Kast Ultra Total Contact Casting System is available as a single application or a 10-case pack, and the standard Mede-Kast Total Contact Casting System is available as a single application.
Cast Boots
TCC-EZ Cast Boots are available in Regular, Large, and X-Large sizes, including Transmet and Charcot-specific low-profile configurations designed for protected ambulation during and after casting.
Casting Materials and Tools
The collection includes plaster bandage (4 in x 5 yds, smooth finish), fiberglass cast tape in 3-inch and 4-inch rolls, cast removal saw replacement blades, a disposable dust vacuum cartridge filter for cast dust capture, and a large reusable cast removal spreader.
MEDIHONEY Wound Dressings
MEDIHONEY Hydrogel Dressings are available in adhesive and non-adhesive, sterile configurations in multiple sizes. MEDIHONEY HCS (Honey Colloid Sheet) Dressings include non-adhesive, fenestrated, and adhesive-border surgical configurations. The MEDIHONEY HoneyColloid Dressing and MEDIHONEY Gel Wound and Burn Dressing (available in a 14 oz tub or 0.5 oz tube) round out the honey-based dressing options, all sterile and latex-free.
General Wound Care Supplies
Includes petrolatum gauze non-adherent dressing, bulk non-sterile gauze sponges (4 x 4 in, 12-ply), and sheer spot adhesive bandages.
Specialty Surgical Instruments
The CODMAN Disposable Catheter Passer (36 cm, malleable, sterile) supports neurosurgical procedures requiring catheter placement.
Selecting the Right Dressing or Casting System
Matching the right Integra product to a clinical need depends on the condition being treated and the workflow of your practice.
- Casting application. Choose a TCC-EZ or Mede-Kast system based on whether the patient needs a boot included, and whether your practice prefers single applications or multi-cast case packs for inventory efficiency.
- Cast width and patient anatomy. TCC-EZ systems are available in 3-inch and 4-inch widths; match width to the limb size and offloading area being treated.
- Boot type for ambulation. Standard Low-Profile boots suit general protected ambulation, while Transmet and Charcot-specific boots are built for those specific foot conditions.
- Wound exudate and adhesion needs. Choose adhesive MEDIHONEY dressings for wounds needing a secure, all-in-one dressing, or non-adhesive options when a secondary dressing or wrap will hold the primary dressing in place.
- Wound type. MEDIHONEY Gel is suited to burns and irregularly shaped wounds where a conformable gel format helps, while HCS sheet dressings suit flatter wound beds, including fenestrated versions for wounds with drains or tubes.
- Cast removal workflow. Clinics performing frequent cast removals should stock replacement saw blades and dust vacuum filters alongside a reusable cast removal spreader to keep the process efficient and safe.
- Order volume. Case packs (5 or 10 casts) suit higher-volume clinics, while single applications suit lower-volume or occasional use.
Configuration Details Worth Knowing
Integra LifeSciences products in this collection are manufactured for professional wound care and orthopedic casting applications. Documented specifications available on the collection page include:
| Category | Configuration Options |

Stocking Smart for Wound Care and Casting
Wound care and casting supplies are recurring, high-frequency purchases, so a bit of planning goes a long way toward keeping a clinic stocked and budgets predictable.
- Buy casting systems in case packs where clinic volume supports it, since 5- and 10-cast case packs typically offer better per-unit value than single applications.
- Standardize on one casting system across providers where clinically appropriate, to simplify training and keep application technique consistent.
- Budget for consumables as a recurring line item, including cast tape, dressings, and cast removal blades, rather than treating them as one-time purchases.
- Stock a range of MEDIHONEY formats and sizes to match the variety of wound types your practice sees, from small fenestrated dressings to larger gel tubs for extensive burns.
- Plan for practice growth, factoring in additional casting kits or dressing inventory if your patient volume or service lines are expanding.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between the TCC-EZ and Mede-Kast total contact casting systems?
A: Both are total contact casting systems from Integra LifeSciences used to offload diabetic foot ulcers and manage Charcot foot. The TCC-EZ line offers more configuration flexibility, including 3-inch and 4-inch widths, with or without boots, and single or multi-cast case packs. The Mede-Kast line includes the GS II complete kit, the Ultra system, and the standard system, each offered in different application formats. Selection often comes down to clinician preference and existing casting workflow.
Q: What is the difference between MEDIHONEY Hydrogel and MEDIHONEY HCS dressings?
A: MEDIHONEY Hydrogel Dressings are available in adhesive and non-adhesive sterile formats suited to a range of wound types. MEDIHONEY HCS (Honey Colloid Sheet) Dressings include non-adhesive, fenestrated, and adhesive-border surgical configurations, with the fenestrated option specifically designed for wounds with a drain or tube present.
Q: Are MEDIHONEY dressings sterile and latex-free?
A: Yes, the MEDIHONEY dressings and gel products in this collection are listed as sterile, and the Gel Wound and Burn Dressing is specifically noted as latex-free. Confirm sterility and latex content on the individual product page before ordering for latex-sensitive patients.
Q: How do I safely remove a total contact cast?
A: This collection includes a large reusable cast removal spreader, cast removal saw replacement blades, and a disposable dust vacuum cartridge filter designed to capture dust during cast removal. Using the matched removal tools designed for your casting system helps support a controlled, lower-risk removal process.
Q: When should I use a boot with a total contact cast versus without?
A: A boot is typically added to a total contact cast to allow protected ambulation while the cast is in place. Configurations without a boot are used when the cast itself will bear the load or when a separate ambulation device is used. Boot type, including standard Low-Profile, Transmet, and Charcot configurations, should match the specific foot condition being treated.
Q: What is the CODMAN Disposable Catheter Passer used for?
A: The CODMAN Disposable Catheter Passer is a 36 cm malleable, sterile instrument used to assist with catheter placement in neurosurgical procedures. It is a single-use, disposable device distinct from the wound care and casting products in this collection.
