Rolyan Polyform Thermoplastic Splinting Material 18″ x 24″ x 1/8″ (Cs/4) 

Key Benefits of Polyform

Polyform is the only Rolyan splint material with minimum resistance to stretch and maximum rigidity when cool. This unique characteristic allows the clinician to form a detailed splint with the confidence that the intricate molding will not deform when used.

Handling Polyform Thermoplastic 

Resistance to stretch: Minimum

• Stretches easily when heated and needs soft, gentle pressure to form a splint. Be careful not to allow material to stretch too much.

Conformability: Maximum

• Easily conforms to surface contours and detail, reducing time spent fabricating splint, and provides a precise fit for increased comfort and fewer pressure areas. High degree of drape.

Memory: Minimum

• Ability to be reheated and reshaped but will not return to original shape.

Bonding: Coated

• Create a temporary bond by pinching together heated material; however, it will come apart when cooled. Form a permanent bond by scrubbing off the coating or removing it with a bond solvent.

Physical Appearance 

Colors:

• White

Thickness: Assorted

• Available in the following sheet thicknesses: 1/8″ (3.2 mm) and 1/16″ (1.6 mm). Use thinner material to combine lightweight comfort with a high degree of rigidity.

Perforations : Assorted

• Available in 1 percent or solid material.

Appearance:

• Opaque when heated

Hardened Splint

Rigidity: Moderate/Maximum (137.7 kpsi*)

• Strongest Rolyan splint material when formed and cooled, resisting deformities such as dents, cracks and breaks during use.

Surface: Smooth

• Picks up fingerprints and markings if not properly handled.
