Rolyan Watercolors™ Perforated Thermoplastic Splinting Material

Watercolors™ is identical to Aquaplast-T™ but is offered in a variety of bright and metallic colors to improve patient compliance. As part of the Aquaplast family, Watercolors features a balance of conformability with a moderate resistance to stretch, giving clinicians more control over how much the material stretches during splint fabrication. With 100% memory, the material “remembers” its original shape when reheated and returns to it, allowing for repeated reheating and reshaping for splint revisions. It is also the only material family that becomes translucent when heated, helping the clinician identify landmarks for positioning and pressure points to provide maximum comfort for the patient.

Handling

Resistance to stretch: Moderate

• Controlled stretch and the ability to be handled with moderate pressure.
• It will not stretch out of shape when removed from splint bath.

Conformability: Moderate/Maximum

• Conforms to surface contours and detail when applying minimum force.
• Moderate degree of drape.

Memory: 100 percent

• When reheated, the material “remembers” its original shape and returns to it.
• Allows for repeated reheating and reshaping for splint revisions.

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.
