Orfit® Classic

SKU: 1000047

Orfit is a thinner, perforated splinting material - perfect 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.


We strive for complete transparency regarding fulfillment costs. Orders containing non-inventory items fulfilled by our supplier, North Coast Medical (NCM), will incur a single $12.95 handling charge. This is a supplier fee, not a fee imposed by SME.  This fee will be added to your invoice regardless of how many non-inventory NCM items are on your order or the total dollar value of your order.
