Low temperature thermoplastic (LTTP) sheets offer the ideal solution. These sheets are widely used to make custom splints and braces that partially or totally immobilize a body part.
Custom fitted splints and braces are formed from thin, flat thermoplastic sheets. Once heated in hot water, these sheets become soft and pliable. They can then be trimmed and molded around the required body part for a close custom fit. The thermoplastic splint is latex-free and compatible with MRI and CT scan workflows.
Application Field:
- Orthopedics
- Rehabilitation hospital
- Burn department
- Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery
- ENT department
- First Aid & Emergency
How to use?
- Adjust the water bath to about 70 C and place the sheet in hot water for 2-3 minutes.
- Once the sheet becomes soft and pliable, place it on a soft cloth and dry the surface.
- Mold it according to the body part. Hook-and-loop straps can help hold the splint in place, while padding or liner materials can improve comfort.
- Allow the molded splint to cool and set for around 10 minutes.
- The material can be reheated and remolded when clinical adjustment is needed.
Attention:
- Keep the water temperature around 65 C-70 C. Avoid temperatures above 80 C, as excessive heat may deform the sheet.
- Do not leave the sheet in hot water for too long. In general, 2-3 minutes is enough to soften the material.
- When the room temperature is above 20 C, the softened sheet may remain workable for around 1.5-3 minutes.
- For orthopedic splints, avoid excessive stretching after activation because it can affect reshaping and memory performance.
- To return a molded splint closer to its original flat state, place it in hot water around 65 C-70 C and allow it to rebound gradually.
- Small sticky areas can appear during activation. Allow the material to cool and set instead of pulling it forcefully.
- Storage in room temperature is enough.
- Store sheets at room temperature and follow supplier guidance for disposal.
