Orfit® Classic
Resistance to Stretch
- Minimum to Moderate resistance to stretch
- Allows the splintmaker to easily stretch and wrap material.
Drape
- Maximum drape.
- Ideal for creating intricate shapes and contours.
- When warm, transparency allows proper alignment and visual monitoring over anatomical landmarks.
Memory
- 100% memory.
- Material will return to its original shape and size when reheated. Ideal for novice splinters.
Rigidity
- Moderate rigidity.
- Molded material splints flex slightly with force, especially the perforated, thinner materials.
- Circumferential splints increase rigidity.
Bonding
- Uncoated material. Provides a very sticky surface when warm and bonds without the need for solvents.
- Sticks easily to itself. Use as bonding agent to attach outriggers or other accessories to splint.
- Use as a bonding agent to attach outriggers or other accessories to a splint or a permanent bond, apply dry heat to the surface until shiny and attach accessories directly to the material.
- Wet bonds can be released in warm water if necessary.
- For easier handling, add liquid soap to water and keep thermoplastic damp while molding.
- Handling instructions are included.
Surface Finish
- Resists fingerprints and other pressure marks.
- Leaves smooth, self sealing edges when cut warm.
- A variety of thicknesses and perforations make Orfit® exceptionally versatile.
Applications
- Choose thicker, smooth materials for large splints, lower extremity positioning, back supports and shoulder splints.
- Choose thinner, perforated materials for lightweight, circumferential hand and finger splints, gauntlet style splints and pediatric splints.
- Turns translucent when warm, allowing observation of landmarks and pressure-sensitive areas.
Working time (1/8")
- Allows five to six minutes to form and harden after softening in 150° (66º C) water.
