Expertise made easier
We offer the largest selection of low- temperature thermoplastics, because the hands that need healing are just as unique as the hands that do the healing.
These recommendations provide a general guide for selecting Rolyan low-temperature thermoplastics. Special circumstances and the clinician’s preference may make
one material more appropriate than another. For questions about any of the splinting materials, please call
Customer Service.
Minimum Resistance
Hand splints require a material that has a
low resistance to stretch. There are, however, special cases in which a small splint requires a material that has a higher resistance to stretch; for example, when splinting against gravity or for spasticity.
