2022 10 10 09 27 33 12 nc12442 fake w 22 trans

Lightweight, Kevlar fiber-based thermoplastic that's rigid, long lasting, and tough.

Resistance to Stretch

Moderate resistance to stretch.

Drape

Moderate drape for excellent fit and conformability.

Memory

100% memory for easy remolding.

Rigidity

Maximum rigidity. Orthoses will hold their shape against hypertonicity.

Bonding

Coated material. Provides a tacky surface when warm and bonds without the need of solvents.

A firm bond is achieved by roughing one of the surfaces lightly with sandpaper, or using the blade of scissors to score the surface. Use a heat gun to heat the surface until thermoplastic is tacky, then press both surfaces together until thermoplastic has cooled.

For permanent bond, score and heat both surfaces with a heat gun, then press together.

Surface Finish

Resists fingerprints.
Smooth, self-sealing edges remain sealed even after cutting and reheating.

Applications

3.2mm Armour can be used for arm, wrist, and circumferential splinting applications. Ideal for abnormal tone or joint contractures.

2.4mm Armour is thin and lightweight, yet strong and durable. Ideal for forearm, hand, and finger-based splints.

Working time

Allows two to three minutes to form and harden after softening in 71° C  water.
