Aquaplast Resilient T Splinting Material

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
