Preferred 2.4mm Splinting Material

Description

Preferred Splinting Material can be altered several times without thinning. This adaptable material has smooth, self-sealing cut edges that remain sealed even after reheating for modifications, and it resists stretching and showing strain. Forearm and hand-based splint, Preferred is thin and lightweight, yet strong, and ideal for arthritis splints, post-operative splints, and paediatric splints. 2.4mm splinting material hardens in three to five minutes after softening in 160°F (71°C) water. Dry heating two surfaces forms a strong bond; gentle, smooth motions produce the best results.

Benefits of 2.4mm Splinting Material

Rigidity

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

Exquisite Bonding

• The unique powder coating gives a tacky feel that helps hold the material in place, without the material pulling or falling away
• The 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
