North Coast Medical Encore 1/8" (3.2mm) Smooth Splints

North Coast Medical Encore 1/8" (3.2mm) Smooth Splints

Allows repeated remolding for perfect results. Turns translucent when warm.

Resistance to Stretch

Minimum to moderate resistance to stretch.
Can be used for single-surface splinting or stretched circumferentially.

Drape

Maximum drape. Excellent conformability and reproduction of detail.
Turns translucent when thoroughly heated and retains its clarity for the first few minutes of molding, allowing visibility of landmarks and bony prominences.

Memory

100% memory.
Will regain its original cut shape and size every time it is reheated.
Encore can be used to make a variety of orthoses, providing firm to lightweight support from the hand to the foot.

Rigidity

Moderately rigid splints.
If a more flexible splint is required, simply stretch the material to achieve the desired rigidity and thickness.

Bonding

Traditional coating has a tacky surface that helps hold the splint in place during molding.
Pieces pinched together can be pulled apart once cooled.
Use only dry heat and firm pressure to bond firmly; use solvent to form a permanent bond.

Surface Finish

Resists fingerprinting for a smooth, shiny surface. To remove marks and bring out shine, dip in warm water or lightly heat the surface with dry heat.

Applications

Use 1/8" Encore for thumb, finger and hand splints, bases for dynamic splints and burn splints. It is also ideal for lower extremity splints, circumferential leg splints, foot drop splints and foot orthoses.
