Product summary

Thermoplastic Orthopedic Long Leg Splint by GoldHealth Medical

Low Temperature Thermoplastic Materials (LTTPs) represent the future of orthopedic splinting. These advanced materials are activated using relatively low heat, typically between 60-70°C (140°-170°F), making them safer and more versatile than traditional high-temperature thermoplastics. Unlike earlier methods that required creating molds off the patient, LTTPs can be directly molded onto the patient, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit.

Today’s diverse range of LTTP splinting materials allows for tailored solutions to meet specific patient needs. Selecting the right LTTP is as crucial as designing the correct orthosis, ensuring the final product is supportive, durable, and comfortable. A well-fitted orthosis not only enhances compliance but also improves patient outcomes.

Key Features of Our Thermoplastic Splint Material:

  • Softens at Low Temperatures: Activates in 2-3 minutes at 60-70°C, becoming soft and pliable.
  • Lightweight and Strong: Offers a firm texture at room temperature, yet is lightweight and highly malleable when heated.
  • Advanced Properties: X-ray permeable, non-toxic, odorless, and biodegradable.
  • Enhanced Functionality: Infused with nano-antibacterial and far-infrared materials for antibacterial properties and improved microcirculation.

How to Use:

  1. Prepare sheets and tools, setting the water bath to 65-70°C.
  2. Choose 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 splint in the water bath for 3-5 minutes until soft and pliable.
  9. Remove and dry on a soft cloth, then apply to the patient’s body part.
  10. Gently mold the splint with your fingers, following the natural contours of the bone.
  11. Complete molding within 3 minutes before the material hardens.
  12. Secure with a wrapping strap and personalize the fit if desired.
  13. The material’s memory allows for repeated adjustments by reheating.

Important Notes:

  • Maintain water temperature between 65°C and 75°C to avoid deformation.
  • Avoid prolonged submersion; 2-3 minutes is sufficient for activation.
  • Room temperature affects plasticity: 1.5-3 minutes at >20°C, 30-50 minutes at 10°C.
  • Stretch up to 1.5 times the original size to preserve resilience.
  • Restore the splint by reheating in 65°C-75°C water for 5 minutes.
  • Small areas of stickiness may occur but will resolve upon cooling.
  • Store at room temperature; biodegrades naturally within 12 months.
