Rolyan Polyform Thermoplastic Splinting Material

Polyform Thermoplastic sheets are the only Rolyan splinting material with minimum resistance to stretch and maximum rigidity when cool. That means clinicians have ultimate control when forming a detailed splint. The thermoplastic material stretches easily when heated and forms the correct shape with gentle pressure. When the sheet cools, clinicians can have confidence the intricate molding will provide a precise fit for increased comfort and fewer pressure areas.

The Polyform splinting material can be used to form medium custom-molded sheets for fingers, wrists, elbow, or foot drop splints, as well as adaptive equipment. The material can be reheated and reshaped, however, it will not return to its original shape. A temporary bond can be created by pinching the heated material together while a permanent bond can be achieved by scrubbing off the coating or removing it with a bond solvent.

Clinicians can create intricate molding to fit a variety of patient needs. The thermoplastic sheets are available in a standard 1/8″ (3.2 mm) thickness or a lighter 1/16″ (1.6 mm) sheet thickness for lightweight comfort with a high degree of rigidity. As the strongest Rolyan splint material with a rigidity score of 137.7 kpsi*, the Polyform material resists deformities such as dents, cracks, and breaks when cooled.

Polyform is the only Rolyan splint material with minimum resistance to stretch and maximum rigidity when cool. This unique characteristic allows the clinician to form a detailed splint with the confidence that the intricate molding will not deform when used.
