Medical Rehabilitation Finger Orthosis orthopedic splint Finger Splint For Finger Protect Posture Corrector
The splinting materials we use to fabricate orthoses today are referred to as low temperature thermoplastics (LTTPs) because we activate them using relatively low heat (water between 60-70°C or 140°-170°F) as compared to other high temperature thermoplastics which require higher activation temperatures ( greater than 100°C or 210°F). We can also place these LTTPs directly on our patients while we are molding the orthoses, unlike the previous generations of therapists who used higher temperature products and had to create molds of their patient’s arms.
There are so many types and varieties of LTTP splinting materials available today. It is just as important to know and understand the correct orthotic design for your patient’s needs as it is to select a proper LTTP for the orthosis. This ensures that your custom made fabricated orthosis is not only procedurally correct, but also supportive, durable, and comfortable as well. Patients will tend to be more compliant with a comfortable and proper fitting orthosis.
The thermoplastic rehabilitation splint material is able to be softened and modeled under relatively low temperature. Under normal room temperature, the functional positioning membrane is in solid state and firm texture. Under the temperature of 60-70 degree the material is able to be activated in 2-3 minutes which will be soft and plastic.
The positioning membrane is light, permeable, strong and high plasticity. It also has the advantages of good penetrability of X-ray, non-toxic, odorless and biodegradable. By adding nano-anti bacterial and far infrared material, with the function of anti-bacteria and improve microcirculation.
