Prism™ Splinting Material
Make bright, colorful splints that provide comfortable support.
Resistance to Stretch
- Moderate resistance to stretch for easy circumferential splinting. Gently pull and wrap the material around the affected part.
Drape
- Moderate drape for excellent fit and conformability.
Memory
- 100% memory for easy remolding.
Rigidity
- Minimum rigidity. Splints flex slightly with pressure for more comfortable wear.
- Circumferential splints will increase rigidity.
- Splints made from 1/8" Prism™ are rigid enough to handle the force of dynamic components.
- Splints made from 1/12" perforated Prism™ form strong but flexible splints for a variety of lightweight applications.
Bonding
- Traditional non-sticky coating allows the splinter to fabricate overlapping circumferential splints quickly. Splints can be molded 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.
- Color retains its vibrancy and shine.
Applications
- 1/8" Prism™ can be used for hand and upper extremity splints, lower extremity splints and return-to-work splints. Great for serial splinting.
- 1/12" Prism™ is ideal when a lighter weight, less rigid material is desired. Use for pediatric, finger, thumb and circumferential splints.
- Prism™ turns translucent when ready to apply.
- Leaves sealed, smooth edges when cut warm.
Working Time (1/8")
- Prism™ has a long working time becoming firm in approximately six minutes at 160°F (71°C).
