Easy Fit - Makes strong, rigid splints for patients who are hard to position or have strong joint contractures.
CHARACTERISTICS:
MEMORY Moderate memory. Will spring back slightly while warm.
RTS Moderate to maximum resistance to stretch. Can be stretched and pulled around curves without thinning or growing out of control. Able to position limb and aggressively hold and stretch material to form splints.
DRAPE Moderate drape. Takes on the contours of the hand for an intimate fit using only moderate pressure. Thinner material follows the curves of the hand and fingers with minimal handling.
RIGIDITY Maximum rigidity. Splints will hold their shape against the pull of strong dynamic components and against hypertonicity.
BONDING Uncoated Easy Fit provides a slightly sticky surface when warm to keep material in place for an intimate fit. A permanent bond is achieved by applying dry heat and pinching it together firmly. No solvent is needed.
SURFACE FINISH Resists fingerprinting.
Fingerprints and other marks disappear or can be smoothed away by rubbing the surface gently while the splint is warm. Leaves sealed, smooth edges when cut warm.
LATEX FREE Skin friendly without sensitization, and environment friendly with self-degration.
