Rolyan Watercolors Solid Thermoplastic Splinting Material
Key Material Benefits
Rolyan Aquaplast Splinting Material is great for a wide range of supportive needs with 100 percent memory that allows clinicians to form the perfect-fitting splint. The versatile thermoplastic sheets “remember” their original shape when reheated and return to it after reshaping for splint revisions. Bright and metallic colors of Aquaplast Watercolors fit the patient’s lifestyle and increase patient confidence.
Easily Conform for Patient Needs
The moderate drape of Aquaplast Watercolors means the material conforms to the affected area with minimal force and only moderate pressure is needed for a controlled stretch. A temporary bond can be created by pinching together the heated material, however, it will come apart when cooled. To form a permanent bond, scrub off or remove the coating with a bond solvent.
Physical Attributes
The vibrant watercolors of Rolyan Aquaplast-T are available in 1/8" (3.2 mm), 1/16" (1.6 mm), and 3/32" (2.4 mm) sheet thicknesses with solid material options. When heated, the material turns translucent and the smooth splinting thermoplastic leaves no unwanted fingerprints or markings. The rigidity of 59.2 kpsi* means the hardened splint retains its shape without reinforcement.
