Our most versatile splinting material can be used by novice or experienced splinters alike
Resistance to Stretch:
Minimum to moderate resistance to stretch. Tolerates minimum to moderate handling during splint moulding
Handle on a horizontal plane and form splint in a gravity-assisted position. Gentle, smooth motions yield superior results
Drape:
Moderate drape with only light to moderate pressure. Contours are quick to form
Memory:
Minimum to moderate memory. Splints can be modified a few times with out thinning. Requires less handling and maintains contours while cooling
Rigidity:
Moulded splints have a moderate rigidity. A circumferential splint is flexible enough for easy donning and doffing, yet strong enough for immobilisation
Bonding:
The unique powder coating gives a tacky feel that helps hold the material in place, without the material pulling or falling away
A wet bond will hold firmly but can be pulled apart once cooled. Dry heating two surfaces will form a strong bond
For a permanent bond, use solvent minimally and dry heat prior to bonding
Surface Finish:
Moderate resistance to fingerprints and resists showing stains. Smooth, self-sealing cut edges remain sealed even after reheating
Applications:
3.2mm Preferred can be used for almost any splinting application. Use for dynamic and static splinting; for adult and paediatric positioning; and for post-burn and post-surgical care
2.4mm Preferred is thin and lightweight, yet strong and can be used for forearm and hand- based splints. Ideal for arthritis splints, post- operative splints, and for paediatric splints when children are able to cooperate
Working time (3.2mm):
Allows three to five minutes to form and harden after softening in 71C water
