INTRODUCING
Pediatric spica tables are specialized medical tables designed to 
facilitate the application and management of hip spica casts in 
children. These tables provide essential support and positioning to 
ensure proper cast placement, which is crucial for the effective 
treatment of conditions such as hip dysplasia, femur fractures, and 
other lower extremity conditions.
DESIGN AND FEATURES
Spica tables are built with child-friendly, ergonomic designs to 
ensure comfort and safety. Key features include adjustable 
height, padded surfaces, and secure straps to immobilize the 
child during the casting process. These tables often come 
with additional accessories like leg supports and headrests to 
aid in precise and stable positioning.
APPLICATION OF HIP 
SPICA CASTS
The process of applying a hip spica cast involves positioning 
the child on the spica table, securing them with straps, and 
aligning their limbs correctly. The cast is then applied from 
the lower chest down to the ankles, depending on the specific 
condition being treated. The spica table's design ensures that 
the child remains still and correctly aligned, which is essential 
for a successful outcome.
CARE AND 
MAINTENANCE OF HIP 
SPICA CASTS
Once the cast is applied, maintaining it is critical to prevent 
complications. Caregivers should check for signs of skin 
irritation or pressure sores daily, keep the cast dry, and avoid 
inserting objects inside the cast. Proper hygiene practices, 
including sponge baths and careful diapering, are essential to 
keep the cast area clean and dry.
BENEFITS OF USING 
PEDIATRIC SPICA 
TABLES
Using a pediatric spica table significantly enhances the safety 
and effectiveness of hip spica cast application. The table's 
design reduces the risk of movement during casting, leading 
to better cast alignment and improved healing outcomes. 
Additionally, these tables streamline the casting process, 
making it quicker and more comfortable for both medical 
professionals and patients.
