The Rolyan Aquaplast Thermoplastic Splinting Material is a sheet of flexible and conforming thermoplastic perforated splinting material that can be used temporarily or as a long-term splint. The lightweight material has a moderate resistance to stretch, and provides an excellent combination of a customized fit and resistant stretching for the best therapy outcome.
Like traditional splints or casts, a thermoplastic splint provides a fast immobilization for injuries such as sprains, strains, and fractures in emergency rooms or immediate care clinics. The Aquaplast Thermoplastic Splinting Material is perforated with holes that allows air to reach the user's skin to provide comfort and breathability while still maintaining a strong material strength.
There are 6 perforation options to choose from for various splinting situations. For example, the 13% UltraPerf perforation pattern is ideal to use for lightweight situations such as hand and finger splints, and the 19% OptiPerf perforation pattern has an exceptional ventilation quality. The six perforation pattern choices include 1%, 13%, 19%, 38%, and a 42% perforation pattern, as well as a solid sheet of material. All of the thermoplastic sheets, once heated, will conform to the affected area for a customized fit and can be cut and trimmed.
Designed for customized orthoses, rigid splints, and adaptive equipment, the Aquaplast material can be used as a temporary bond by simply pinching the heated surfaces of the material together. For a more permanent bond, remove the materials coating with liquid remover, or use a sharp instrument or sandpaper to scrape away the bond.
The splinting material is ideal for serial splints as well as for wrist, finger and hand splints, knee and elbow splints when using the pinch technique, and for dynamic outrigger bases.
The latex-free splinting material sheets come in various size selections, and either a singer sheet, in a case of 2, or 4 per case.
