Encore 3.2mm Splinting Material

Splinting Material Features

• Can be used for single-surface splinting or stretched circumferentially
• 100% memory
• Will regain its original cut shape and size every time it is reheated
• Can be used to make a variety of orthoses, providing firm to lightweight support from the hand to the foot
• Moderately rigid splints
• If a more flexible splint is required, simply stretch the material to achieve the desired rigidity and thickness 
• Pieces pinched together can be pulled apart once cooled
• Use only dry heat and firm pressure to bond firmly, use solvent to form a permanent bond
• Resists fingerprinting for a smooth, shiny surface
• Turns translucent when thoroughly heated and retains its clarity for the first few minutes of molding, allowing visibility of landmarks and bony prominences
• To remove marks and bring out shine, dip in warm water or lightly heat the surface with dry heat
• Allows three to five minutes to form and harden after softening in 160° F (71° C) water
