Omega™ Max Thermoplastic Splinting Material

Great for anti-spasticity splints, serial static splints,  lower extremity Splints (i.e. Foot Drop) and back supports.  

Moderate resistance to stretch combined with 100% Memory while allowing conformability and an aggressive handling style makes this your most versatile splinting material.

• PRO TIP:  Omega Max allows the therapist to pre-stretch the materials to form around areas such as the webspace to ensure strength especially in functional or resting positioning splints.
• Latex Free
• Free of BPA chemicals
