Kinetec Splinting Thermoplastics Moldable Materials - Ohio S

If you're in search of a versatile and efficient splinting material, look no further than the Kinetec Ohio S Splinting Thermoplastics. Designed to provide optimal support and comfort for hand and wrist splinting, this innovative product has many features that cater to your specific needs.

Kinetec's Ohio S is a cutting-edge, low-temperature thermoplastic specifically engineered for crafting hand splints. Its unique composition offers a remarkable 100 percent memory, ensuring that the splint will regain its original size and shape even after being reheated. When exposed to heat, the material turns translucent, making it easy to monitor the fitting process. A distinctive characteristic of this material is its slight stickiness when heated, promoting seamless bonding and enabling the splint to mold into a permanent shape effortlessly. This inherent tackiness also ensures that the material adheres securely during the splint fabrication.

The Ohio S thermoplastic doesn't stop at its memory and adhesive attributes. It exhibits resistance to stretch, requiring smooth, deliberate strokes for molding, thereby providing optimal control. When shaping the material, a moderate amount of pressure yields a conforming fit due to its moderate drape.

The Ohio S material is unique for its exceptional rigidity, which provides superior immobilization support, making it suitable for a variety of clinical applications. Furthermore, the material is adept at self-bonding due to its non-coated nature, functioning as an extra set of hands during application. Its sleek finish resists fingerprints, maintaining a clean and polished appearance even after extensive use.

For added customization, the Ohio S thermoplastic is available in various perforation options and material thicknesses, catering to your preferences. With choices ranging from solid to different percentages of perforation, you can select the best option based on the material's thickness.
