Preferred Smooth Splinting Material 1/8" x 18" x 24" 4/CaseMinimum to moderate resistance to stretch. Tolerates minimum to moderate handling during splint molding. Handle on a horizontal plane and form splint in a gravity assisted position. Gentle, smooth motions yield superior results. Moderate drape with only light to moderate pressure. Contours are quick to form. Minimum to moderate memory. Splints can be modified a few times without thinning. Requires less handling and maintains contours while cooling.

• Molded splints have a moderate rigidity.
• A circumferential splint is flexible enough for easy donning and doffing, yet strong enough for immobilization.
• The unique Environmentally Friendly (EF) coating gives a tacky feel that helps hold the material in place, without the material pulling or falling away.
• A wet bond will hold firmly but can be pulled apart once cooled.
• Dry heating two surfaces will form a strong bond.
• For a permanent bond, scratch to remove the coating and apply dry heat, then press together firmly.
• Do not use solvent
