The first synthetic rubber-based splinting material that is totally "user friendly".
Allows the splint maker to:
Roll out thumb holes.
Roll edges of splints for more rigidity, if desired.
Mold and conform the splint to all contours.
Remold and reshape the splint, utilizing the natural memory.
Be aggressive without fingerprinting, when fabricating small, medium or large splints for patients with "tone".
Have maximum control when making any type splint.
Recommended for these applications:
Hand and wrist splints.
Elbow splints (extension).
Airplane splints (shoulders).
Body jackets and back supports (inserts).
Fracture braces (all extremities).
"Serial casting".
MATRIX™, when heated for one minute in 160 F (70 C) water, will remain moldable for three to five minutes. "Serial" adjustments are easily done by placing the splint into the hot water (160 F/70 C) and allowing the natural memory to assist in the adjustment. Spot heating, minor adjustments and permanent self-bonding (recommend the use of bonding solvent) are accomplished with a heat gun. Available smooth or perforated.
