Klarity Colors - **0%
memory splinting thermoplastic material
CHARACTERISTICS:
MEMORY **0% memory. Easily regain its
original shape and size when reheated.
RTS Minimum to moderate resistance to
stretch.
Can be used for single-surface splinting or stretched
circumferentially.
DRAPE Maximum drape. Excellent conformability
and reproduction of detail.
Turns transparent when completely heated and retains its
clarity for the first few minutes of molding, allowing visibility
of landmarks and bony prominences.
RIGIDITY Moderately rigid
splints.
If a more flexible splint is required, simply stretch the
material to achieve the desired rigidity and thickness.
BONDING Traditional coating has a tacky
surface that helps hold the splint in place during molding.
Pieces pinched together can be pulled apart once cooled. Use
only dry heat and firm pressure to bond firmly; use solvent to form
a permanent bond.
SURFACE FINISH Resists fingerprinting
for a smooth, shiny surface. To remove marks and bring out shine,
dip in warm water or lightly heat the surface with dry heat.
LATEX FREE Skin friendly without
sensitization, and environment friendly with self-degration.
