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
