Aquaplast Watercolors Splinting Material - 13% UltraPerf

The Aquaplast Watercolors Splinting Material with a 13% UltraPeforation pattern is a lightweight, thermoplastic splinting sheet perfect to use to splint small and delicate areas, such as an injured hand or fingers. The splint can be sized and cut from the thermoplastic sheet, and immersed in warm water to become soft and malleable. Its then placed onto the injured area for precise application and a custom fit to help immobilize the injury.

The splinting sheets, which can be purchased as a single 18-inch by 24-inch sheet or in a case of four, come in bright and fun color choices that will encourage both adult and pediatric compliance in wearing the brace as prescribed. The thermoplastic sheet has a 13% peroration pattern to provide lightweight immobilization and breathability, and the Aquaplast splinting material highlights 100% memory, enabling the splint to be reheated and remolded over the healing, injured area, resulting in comfort and support while the swelling decreases.

The non-stick coating allows medical staff to mold and shape the splint without unwanted bonding. If temporary bonding is needed, the heated material can be pinched together. If a more permanent bond is required, the non-stick coating can be removed with liquid remover, or by scraping it off.

The waterproof, vividly-colored splint material offers patients choices between beige to hot pink, and the color will be less likely to be lost if the splint is washed with the laundry. Often used in clinics and medical facilities, this innovative splinting material can also be used in making orthoses or adaptive equipment customizable, and a more comfortable fit for the user.
