Low temperature thermoplastic – 100% memory splint material

Low temperature thermoplastic with 100% memory for reliable, reworkable splint fabrication. Translucency when heated and a semi-coated finish make shaping and positioning easier during application.

Why it's useful

• 100% memory – reheatable and remouldable for repeated adjustments during splint fabrication.
• Translucent when heated – improved visibility of target areas for precise placement and trimming.
• Semi-coated ‘pinch and pop’ surface – helps hold material and acts as a second pair of hands while forming.
• Shiny, fingerprint‑resistant finish – keeps the work surface clean and reduces visible marks after handling.
• Practical for clinicians, hand therapists, orthotists, students and makers working on custom splints and orthoses.
• Heat‑mouldable compatibility – suited to standard low‑temperature splinting techniques and typical workshop tools.
• Care note: reheat to reshape as needed and follow established thermoplastic handling and safety practices.

Manosplint Ohio T is a low temperature thermoplastic with 100% memory that is ideal for a wide range of splints. Translucent when heated allows for clear visibility of the target areas. Semi-coated material allows for it to ‘pinch and pop’. Acts as a second pair of hands to keep product in place during application. Resists fingerprints with a shiny finish.

Features

• Memory

100% memory – when fully reheated can regain original size and shape.

• Resistance to Stretch (RTS)

Moderate handling with smooth strokes during moulding. Shapes easily.

• Drape

Moderate pressure needed for a conforming fit.

• Rigidity

Maximum – strong support.

• Bonding & Finish

Semi-coated material allows for it to ‘pinch and pop’. Acts as a second pair of hands to keep product in place during application. Resists fingerprints with a shiny finish.

• Material Thickness

Available in: 1/8” (3.2mm), 3/32” (2.4mm), 1/12” and 1/16” (1.6mm)

• Colours

Available in Metallic Blue (1.6mm) and Black (1.6mm, 2.4mm and 3.2mm)

Suggested Clinical Applications

• Immobilisation orthoses – wrist, thumb and hand; wide variety of diagnoses including pediatrics, tendon injuries, fractures, arthritis, and neurological diagnoses
• Mobilisation orthoses – serial static approach or base for dynamic and static progressive designs
• Circumferential designs
