Product summary

GoldHealth Medical Orthopedic Thermoplastic Splint Material

GoldHealth Medical introduces a revolutionary range of low-temperature thermoplastic materials (LTTPs) designed to redefine orthotic fabrication. These materials are activated at relatively low temperatures (60-70°C or 140°-170°F), making them safe and efficient for direct application on patients. Unlike traditional high-temperature thermoplastics, our LTTPs eliminate the need for molds, allowing therapists to craft custom orthoses directly on the patient’s body.

Our thermoplastic splint material is engineered to deliver unparalleled performance, combining strength, flexibility, and patient comfort. It is lightweight, breathable, and highly malleable, ensuring a precise fit for every individual. Enhanced with advanced features such as X-ray transparency, anti-bacterial properties, and far-infrared functionality, our material supports improved microcirculation and promotes faster recovery.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Lightweight and Comfortable: Only 1/8 the weight of traditional medical plaster, ensuring ease of use and a sleek appearance.
  • Exceptional Plasticity: Softens in 2-3 minutes at 65-70°C, allowing effortless shaping to fit any anatomical contour. Once cooled, it retains its shape without rebounding, enabling true one-of-a-kind designs.
  • Superior Tensile Strength: Can stretch up to 5-7 times its original size, offering unmatched flexibility during application.
  • 100% Memory Function: If adjustments are needed, simply reheat the material to restore it to its original state, reducing waste and costs.
  • Eco-Friendly: Biodegradable within 12 months under natural conditions, eliminating medical waste concerns.
  • Non-Sticky Surface: A breakthrough innovation that ensures easy application and removal, enhancing patient comfort.

Technical Specifications

  • Activation Temperature: 65-70°C (149-158°F)
  • Softening Time: 2-3 minutes in hot water
  • Shaping Window: Approximately 3 minutes after removal from water
  • Stretchability: Up to 1.5 times its original size without compromising resilience
  • Memory Recovery: Fully restores shape within 5 minutes when reheated to 65-70°C
  • Storage: Room temperature is sufficient

Application Guidelines

  1. Prepare the material and tools, ensuring the water bath is set to 65-70°C.
  2. Select the appropriate sheet thickness based on the body part:
  3. 1.6mm for nasal splints
  4. 2.4mm for finger/hand splints
  5. 3.2mm for arm, wrist, elbow, scoliosis, and neck splints
  6. 4.0mm for foot and leg splints
  7. Design a pre-cut template on paper and cut the thermoplastic sheet accordingly.
  8. Submerge the sheet in the water bath for 3-5 minutes until soft and pliable.
  9. Remove the sheet, pat dry with a soft cloth, and apply it to the patient’s body part.
  10. Gently mold the material with your fingers, following the natural contours of the bone structure.
  11. Allow the material to cool and harden, ensuring a secure fit.
  12. Personalize the splint with wrapping straps for added comfort and aesthetics.
  13. Reheat and reshape as needed throughout treatment, ensuring cost efficiency.

Operational Tips

  • Avoid water temperatures exceeding 80°C to prevent deformation.
  • Limit immersion time to 2-3 minutes to maintain material integrity.
  • Ensure proper room temperature during application:
  • Above 20°C: Molding time is 1.5-3 minutes.
  • Below 10°C: Molding time extends to 30-50 minutes.
  • Avoid excessive stretching to preserve reshaping resilience.
  • Store at room temperature for optimal longevity.
