Omega Plus Splinting Material

Maximum resistance to stretch. Firm handling needed to stretch material.
Omega Plus can be stretched and pulled around curves without thinning or growing out of control

Minimum drape.
Use firm handling, for smaller contours. Best for larger joints of the body needing firm support.
Ideal for splinting clients who are unable to cooperate due to spasticity or non-painful contractures.

100% memory. Ideal for serial splinting.
If mistake is made in fitting, reheat and start over.
Good for infrequent or novice splinters.

Maximum rigidity.
Upper and lower extremity splints will hold their position even against strong pressure or hypertonicity.

Uncoated material. Provides a very sticky surface when warm and bonds without the need for solvents.
Sticks easily to itself. Use as bonding agent to attach outriggers or other accessories to splint.
Use as a bonding agent to attach outriggers or other accessories to a splint or a permanent bond, apply dry heat to the surface until shiny and attach accessories directly to the material. 
Wet bonds can be released in warm water if necessary. 
For easier handling, add liquid soap to water and keep thermoplastic damp while molding. 
Handling instructions are included. 

Maximum resistance to fingerprints. Can tolerate aggressive handling.
If pressure or wrappings are removed while Omega Plus is still warm, marks will disappear from the surface.

Use for anti-spasticity splints, lower extremity positioning splints, shoulder abduction (airplane) splints, back supports and for serial static splinting.

Sets up in three to four minutes at 71° C.  Sets up quickly saving time if splinting frightened or non-compliant patients.
