Thermoplastic Splints 

Thermoplastic splinting materials are used to prepare splints for immobilizing fractures, strains and sprains. They are lighter, easily moldable, fits to the contours of the individual’s body and can be removed for cleaning and bathing. Thermoplastics are also great for emergency rooms and trauma centers as they help in fast immobilization. There are 2 basic types of thermoplastic splinting materials –  

1. Low temperature thermoplastics: This splinting material can be molded in hot water and placed on the skin. It is suitable for upper limb fractures.  
2. High Temperature Thermoplastics: This material requires higher temperatures to mold and takes longer time to harden. It is suitable for leg and back injuries that require splinting for a longer time span.
