Aquaplast Splinting materials - The Rolyan Range
At Rolyan we believe our diverse and comprehensive range of thermoplastic materials reflects the varying needs of clinicians today. Different handling and performance properties are required for the varied caseloads and client groups that therapists work with.
Product Categories:
Resistance to stretch: MINIMUM.
Most conformable Aquaplast™ material.
Handling Characteristics: • Stretches easily with excellent drapability and minimal handling for an intricate fit • 100% memory allows for repeated reheating and splint revisions - increased cost effectiveness and reduced clinical waste • Transparent when heated allowing the user to observe landmarks and potential pressure areas • For a temporary bond, pinch heated surfaces together • For a permanent bond, remove the coating with spirits or by scraping with a sharp instrument • Anti-microbial component available where shown Heating and Working Times • 1.6mm for 30 seconds at 70°C-75°C gives 1 minute working time • 2.4mm for 1 minute at 70°C-75°C gives 2 to 3 minutes working time • 3.2mm for 1 minute at 70°C-75°C gives 4 to 6 minutes working time.
Clinical Indications • Serial splinting (100% memory) • Ideal for patients with acute trauma, pain and joint irritation • Thumb, finger, wrist and hand based splints • Dynamic outrigger bases • Lightweight paediatric splints
Can be used for:
Face masks, Neck collars, Thumb and finger splints, Hand splints, Wrist splints, Serial static (static progressive) splints, Bases for dynamic splints, Foot drop splints.
Resistance to stretch: MODERATE.
Aquaplast™-T, Aquaplast™ Original and Aquaplast™ Watercolours™
The optimum Aquaplast™ combination of close conformability and resistances to stretch.
Can be used for:
Thumb and finger splints, Hand splints, Wrist splints, Elbow splints for flexion and extension, Serial static(static progressive) splints, Bases for dynamic splints, Body supports and body jackets, Foot drop splints, Foot splints (ambulatory), Ankle stirrup splints, Knee splints for immobilisation, Splints for spasticity.
Handling Characteristics • Optimum combination of intimate conformability and resistance to stretch • 100% memory allows for repeated reheating and splint revisions - increased cost effectiveness and reduced clinical waste • Transparent when heated allowing the user to observe landmarks and potential pressure areas • OptiPerf perforations provide superior ventilation assisting normal evaporation while maintaining material strength • Easy trim edges for improved patient comfort • Non-stick coating for ease of handling • Aquaplast-T provides a temporary bond by pinching the edges together. Ideal for wrap and tack techniques • For a permanent bond, remove the coating with liquid remover or by scraping with a sharp instrument • Available with anti-microbial component where shown.
Heating and Working Times • 1.6mm for 35 seconds at 70°C-75°C gives 1-2min working time • 2.4mm for 1 minute at 70°C-75°C gives 2-3min working time • 3.2mm for 1 minute at 70°C-75°C gives 4-6min working time • 4.8mm for 1-2 minutes at 70°C-75°C gives 4-7min working time Clinical Indications • Serial splinting and economical splint revisions • Hand, wrist and thumb splints • Dynamic outriggers bases • Circumferential elbow and knee splints
Handling Characteristics • Offers the same handling characteristics as Aquaplast-T but bonds instantly and permanently on contact • Tacky on the skin when heated giving the therapist an extra pair of hands during splint fabrication • Controlled stretch and excellent contour.
Heating and Working Times • 1.6mm for 35 seconds at 70°C-75°C gives 1-2 minutes working time • 2.4mm for 1 minute at 70°C-75°C gives 2-3 minutes working time • 3.2mm for 1 minute at 70°C-75°C gives 4-6 minutes working time Clinical Indications • Perfect for dynamic splinting and outrigger attachments
Handling Characteristics • Bright, vibrant coloursencourage paedatric and adult compliance • Features all the well-loved benefits of Aquaplast-T • Less likely to be lost in the laundry or bedding
Heating & Working times • 1.6mm for 35 seconds at 70-75°C gives 1 or 2 minutes minutes working time • 2.4mm for 1 minute at 70-75°C gives 2-3 minutes working time • 3.2mm for 1 minute at 70-75°C gives 4-6 minutes working time
Clinical indications • Hand and upper limb splinting • Ideal for paediatrics • Neurological visual and attentional deficits • Occupational splints where conventional white materials can show stains.
Resistance to stretch: MAXIMUM.
Aquaplast™ Resilient™ - T, Aquaplast™ Original Resilient™.
Aquaplast™ with maximum controlled stretch.
Can be used for:
Serial static (progressive static) splints, Bases for dynamic splints, Body supports and body jackets, Foot drop splints, Foot splints (ambulatory), Ankle stirrup splints, Knee splints for immobilisation.
The most tolerant Aquaplast ever. Handling Characteristics • Available as Aquaplast Resilient-T with coating or as Aquaplast Resilient Original without coating • A non-draping material that provides maximum control • 100% memory allows for repeated reheating and splint revisions - increased cost effectiveness and reduced clinical waste • Transparent when heated allowing the user to observe landmarks and potential pressure areas. • Aquaplast Resilient-T provides a temporary bond by pinching the edges together. Ideal for wrap and tack techniques • For a permanent bond, use Aquaplast Resilient Original or remove the coating of Aquaplast Resilient-T with spirits or by scraping with a sharp instrument.
Heating and Working Times • 1.6mm for 35 seconds at 65°C to 70°C gives 1 to 2 minutes working time • 3.2mm for 1 minute at 70°C to 75°C gives 4 to 6 minutes working time Clinical Indications • Ideal for splints requiring frequent revisions • Neurological splinting • Lower limb weight bearing splints.
