Solaris Ready Sheets Pre-cut 3.2mm Splinting Material

Solaris Pre-cut 3.2mm Splinting Material Features

• Moderate to maximum resistance to stretch
• Can be stretched and pulled around curves without thinning or growing out of control
• Able to position limb and aggressively hold and stretch material to form splints

• Moderate drape
• Takes on the contours of the hand for an intimate fit using only moderate pressure
• Thinner material follows the curves of the hand and fingers with minimal handling

• Moderate memory will spring back slightly while warm

Why to use Solaris Pre-cut Splinting Material?

• Maximum rigidity
• Splints will hold their shape against the pull of strong dynamic components and against hypertonicity

• Uncoated Solaris provides a slightly sticky surface when warm to keep material in place for an intimate fit
• A permanent bond is achieved by applying dry heat and pinching it together firmly. No solvent is needed

• Resists fingerprinting
• Fingerprints and other marks disappear or can be smoothed away by rubbing the surface gently while the splint is warm
• Leaves sealed, smooth edges when cut warm

• Allows four to six minutes to form and harden after softening in 160° F (71° C) water

When to apply Solaris 3.2mm Pre-cut Splinting Material?

• Ideal for abnormal tone conditions or joint contractures when patients are unable to cooperate
• Its unique qualities make Solaris perfect for upper and lower extremity positioning splints and pediatric, non-weight bearing AFOs
• The combined drape with controlled, resistive stretch of Solaris allows aggressive, firm handling to form a rigid splint that conforms perfectly to the body
