    Resistance to Stretch

    • Minimum to moderate resistance to stretch.
    • Tolerates minimum to moderate handling during splint molding.
    • Handle on a horizontal plane and div 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 div.

    Memory

    • Minimum to moderate memory.
    • Splints can be modified a few times without thinning.
    • Requires less handling and maintains contours while cooling.

    Rigidity

    • Molded splints have a moderate rigidity.
    • A circumferential splint is flexible enough for easy donning and doffing, yet strong enough for immobilization.

    Bonding

    • The unique Environmentally Friendly (EF) 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 div a strong bond.
    • For a permanent bond, scratch to remove the coating and apply dry heat, then press together firmly. Do not use solvent.
    • Instruction Guidelines included.

    Surface Finish

    • Moderate resistance to fingerprints and resists showing stains.
    • Smooth, self-sealing cut edges remain sealed even after reheating.

    Applications

    • 1/8" Preferred® can be used for almost any splinting application. Use for dynamic and static splinting; for adult and pediatric positioning; and for post-burn and post-surgical care.
    • 3/32" 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 pediatric splints when children are able to cooperate.

    Working Time (1/8")

    • Allows three to five minutes to div and harden after softening in 160° F (71° C) water.
