Orfit Metallic Color Non-Stick Splinting Fabrication Material is an engineered thermoplastic used for orthotic splinting.
Orfit Metallic Color Non-Stick Splinting Fabrication Material Characteristics:
Appearance
Orfit Metallic Color Non-Stick Splinting Fabrication Material comes in a range of unique metallic colors with a high gloss and shiny surface finish. Available in Silver, Blue, and Gold, the stylish colors promote patient compliance, especially in children and athletes.
Non-Stick Coated Material
A non-stick coating makes temporary bonding during fabrication possible. After removing the coating and using dry heat, reliable permanent bonding is possible. Attachments and outriggers can be applied with maximum ease. The aesthetically pleasing surface prevents the material from sticking onto bandages or cotton lining.
Stretches without Tearing
The splinting fabrication material stretches 1000% without tearing. Considered minimum to moderate resistance to stretch, the material maintains its original thickness while stretching easily around body parts and contours. With precise moulding, Orfit NS easily conforms to patient anatomy such as the hand arches and first web space. Accurate moulding improves the correct dispersion of skin pressure.
Provides Maximum Drape
Ideal for creating intricate shapes and contours, Orfit NS provides maximum drape.
Excellent Elastic Memory
Orfit Metallic Color Non-Stick Splinting Fabrication Material is completely remouldable and can be adjusted easily after reheating locally, helping to avoid wasting material.
Provides Moderate Rigidity
With moderate rigidity, the splint flexes slightly for more comfortable positioning.
Easy to Trim Edges
With easy to trim edges, Orfit Metallic Color Non-Stick Splinting Fabrication Material offers extreme patient comfort.
Working Time
Orfit NS takes 4 to 6 minutes to form and harden after softening in 150 degrees F (66 degrees C) water.
Recommended Applications:
With the ability to fabricate very small to very large orthoses, the potential for fabricating a wide range of splints is unlimited. Hard shell pressure masks can also be fabricated with Orfit Metallic Color Non-Stick, ensuring excellent healing of scars during the treatment of burn patients. Here are a few examples of splints that can be created:
Small Finger
Thumb
Hand
Wrist
Wrist/Thumb
Elbow
Cervical Collars
Toe
Fracture Braces (if applied circumferentially)
Small strips can be used to provide a colorful edging strip.
How Orfit Metallic Color Non-Stick Splinting Fabrication Material Works
When the material is ready to mould, it will appear transparent. The transparent nature of the material ensures proper alignment and visual monitoring over anatomical landmarks.
With the ability to precisely mould to patient anatomy, skin pressure is correctly dispersed. This works particularly well on hand arches and first web spacing.
No accidental bonding occurs with Orfit Metallic Color Non-Stick Splinting Fabrication Material. The non-stick coating makes temporary bonding during fabrication possible. A reliable permanent bond can be achieved after removing the coating and using dry heat. Attachments and outriggers can be easily applied. Orfit NS will not stick onto bandages or cotton lining.
Completely remoldable, Orfit Metallic Color Non-Stick Splinting Fabrication Material can be adjusted easily after reheating locally, which avoids wasting material.
Orfit Metallic Color Non-Stick Splinting Fabrication Material is extremely comfortable for patients.
