Plaster of Paris (POP) is a widely used medical and construction material made from calcium sulfate hemihydrate. In the medical field, POP bandages are commonly used to immobilize fractured bones and support injured limbs by forming a rigid, protective cast.

It is also used in making molds, sculptures, and decorative items. Due to its versatility, fast setting time, and cost-effectiveness, Plaster of Paris remains a popular choice in healthcare and industry.
