Contour Blend - Flexible enough for easy donning and doffing.


CHARACTERISTICS:


MEMORY Minimum to moderate memory. Splints can be reheated and edges will remain smooth
and closed. Splints will hold their shape when mildly heated for easy fitting adjustments.
 
RTS Moderate resistance to stretch. Tolerates minimum to moderate handling during splint molding. Smooth motions yield superior, sculpted results.
 
DRAPE Moderate drape requires only light to moderate pressure to form contour fit.
 
RIGIDITY Moderate rigidity. A circumferential splint made of Contour BlendTM is flexible enough for easy donning and doffing, yet strong enough for immobilization.
 
BONDING Traditional coating allows splinting over bandages without adherence.
A pressed, wet bond will hold firmly but can be pulled apart when cooled.
Dry heating two surfaces will form a strong bond. For a permanent bond, use solvent or scrape off coating, dry heat and press together.
 
SURFACE FINISH Moderate resistance to fingerprints and resists showing stains. To remove marks, 
lightly heat the surface and rub. Smooth, self-sealing cut edges remain sealed even after reheating.
 
LATEX FREE Skin friendly without sensitization, and environment friendly with self-degration.
