Prism Thermoplastic

RESISTANCE TO STRETCH:

• Moderate resistance to stretch for easy circumferential splinting. Gently pull away wrap material around the affected part.

DRAPE:

• Moderate drape for excellent fit and comfortability

MEMORY:

• 100% memory for easy remoulding

RIGIDITY:

• Minimum rigidity. Splints flex slightly with pressure for more comfortably wear
• Circumferential splints will increase rigidity
• Splints made from 3.2mm Prism are rigid enough to handle the force of dynamic components
• Splints made from 2mm perforated prism form strong but flexiby splints for a variety of lightweight applications

BONDING:

• Traditional non-sticky coating allows the splinter to fabricate overlapping circumferential splints quickly. Splints can be moulded over bandages easily without sticking
• To form a permanent bond, scrape shiny coating off using scissors or use solvent and dry heat until the material is soft. Press together firmly~~SURFACE FINISH:
• Resists fingerprints, even with aggressive handling
• Colour retains its vibrancy and shine~~APPLICATIONS:
• 3.2mm Prism can be used for hand and upper extremity splints, lower extremity splints and return-to-work splints. Great for serial splinting.
• 2mm Prism is ideal when a lighter weight, less rigid material is desired. Use for paediatric, finger, thumb and circumferential splints.
• Prism turns translucent when ready to apply
• Leaves sealed, smooth edges when cut warm~~WORKING TIME (3.2mm):
• Prism has a long working time becoming form in approximately six minutes at 71 C.
• Latex free
