Rolyan Aquaplast-T Solid 46 x 61cm 1.6mm Splinting Material

The Rolyan Aquaplast-T Solid 46 x 61cm 1.6mm Splinting Material is a coated thermoplastic splinting material with moderate resistance to stretch. Providing the optimum combination of intimate conformability and resistant stretch, Aquaplast-T becomes translucent when heated, allowing easier identification of pressure points and landmarks for positioning to provide maximum comfort. Featuring 100% memory, Aquaplast-T can also be reheated and remoulded time and again for economical splint revisions, saving materials, cost and time for clinicians.

Ultra-Thin Material

At just 1.6mm, this product is half the thickness and half the weight of standard 3.2mm splinting material. This makes it easy to cut when cold and ideal for paediatrics, finger splints, hand-based splints and other areas where a lightweight material is called for.
