Prism Splinting Material
Moderate Resistance to Stretch
Make bright, colorful splints that provide comfortable support.
Resistance to Stretch
Moderate resistance to stretch for easy circumferential splinting. Gently pull and wrap the material around the affected part.
Drape
Moderate drape for excellent fit and conformability.
Memory
100% memory for easy remolding.
Rigidity
Minimum rigidity. Splints flex slightly with pressure for more comfortable wear.
Circumferential splints will increase rigidity.
Splints made from 3.2mm Prism are rigid enough to handle the force of dynamic components.
Splints made from 2mm perforated Prism form strong but flexible splints for a variety of lightweight applications.
Bonding
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, apply dry heat, then press together firmly. Solvent not required.
Surface Finish
Resists fingerprints, even with aggressive handling.
Color retains its vibrancy and shine.
Applications
3.2mm Prism can be used for hand and upper extremity splints, lower extremity splints and return-to-work splints. Great for serial splinting.
2mm Prism is ideal when a lighter weight, less rigid material is desired. Use for pediatric, finger, thumb and circumferential splints.
Prism™ turns translucent when ready to apply.
Leaves sealed, smooth edges when cut warm.
Working Time
Prism has a long working time becoming firm in approximately six minutes at 71°C.
