Color & Dimensions |
Skin color. Thickness: 1.6mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.2mm, 4 mm. Sheet sizes: 60 cm x 45 cm and 90 cm x 60 cm. |
White. Thickness: 2.0mm, 3.2mm and 4.2mm. Sheet sizes: --60 cm x 45 cm x 2 mm -- non perfo - micro perfo - mini perfo - multi perfo; --60 cm x 45 cm x 3.2 and 4.2 mm --60 cm x 90 cm x 3.2 and 4.2mm both in non perfo - mini perfo and multi perfo (except for 4.2 mm) |

Elasticity & Molding |
Very elastic
when hot. May be molded to the contours of the patients body. |
Extremely elastic when hot | Moderately elastic when
hot. After modeling on the body of the patient the thickness stays the same throughout the entire precut. |
|
Cutting, bonding & fastening |
Cutting: May
be cut when hot or cold with scissors or knife. May be
drilled with power or hand tools at a LOW speed (to
prevent gumming). Bonding: Self adhesive when hot. Fastening: Velcro, rivets, etc. No solvents needed! |
|||
Finishing |
Edges can be
easily smoothened with fingertips. Major modifications can be made with heat gun. Possibility to mechanically grind or buff for quick finishing (use moderate speed) |
|||
Note |
When using hot
water, -- place a piece of greased paper at the bottom of
the bath. Advantages: a) to prevent the material from sticking b) to prevent direct contact with the hot water, remove the splint out of the bath (together with the paper). |
