Maximum resistance to stretch
The most tolerant Aquaplast ever
Handling Characteristics:
- A non-draping material that provides maximum control,
- 100% memory allows for repeated reheating and splint revisions - increased cost effectiveness and reduced clinical waste,
- Transparent when heated allowing the user to observe landmarks and potential pressure areas,
- Aquaplast Resilient-T provides a temporary bond by pinching the edges together. Ideal for wrap and tack techniques,
- For a permanent bond, remove the coating with spirits or by scraping with a sharp instrument
Heating and Working Times:
- 1.6mm for 35 seconds at 65°C-70°C gives 1-2 minutes working time,
- 3.2mm for 1 minute at 70°C-75°C gives 4-6 minutes working time
Clinical Indications:
- Ideal for splints requiring frequent revisions,
- Neurological splinting,
- Lower limb weight bearing splints

HINTS AND TIPS
Wrap-and-tack technique
- Non-stick versions of Aquaplast and Watercolors have just enough surface tack to produce a light bond if deliberately pressed together when heated,
- Place the Aquaplast-T onto the desired joint/s,
- Pull the edges of the material together and seal,
- Maintain joint position and once cool pop open the bonding,
- Trim edges and finish,
- Ideal for those who can't maintain a position, tonal splinting or for paediatrics
Aquaplast Transparency
- When heated Aquaplast becomes transparent,
- Enables monitoring of skin condition, anatomical landmarks, pressure areas and joint position for improved splint fit and comfort,
- Tells the user when the material is ready to mould and when set by returning to its opaque state
