North Coast Medical Omega Max Splinting Material, 18" x 24" (45 x 60cm)

North Coast Medical Omega Max Splinting Material

Conformability, moderate RTS, and 100% memory combine for a versatile splinting material.

Resistance to Stretch

Moderate resistance to stretch.
Moderate to aggressive handling is tolerated.

Drape

Moderate to maximum drape to create a close conforming fit.
Provides excellent reproduction of detail.

Memory

100% memory, ideal for serial splinting.
Always recovers its original cut shape and size when reheated.

Rigidity

Moderate to maximum rigidity.

Bonding

Unique powder coating gives Omega Max a slightly tacky surface that holds the material in place, without the material pulling or falling away.
A wet bond will hold firmly but can be pulled apart when cool.
Apply minimal solvent and dry heat to form a strong, permanent bond.

Surface Finish

Finished splints have a smooth, glossy surface.
Fingerprints and other surface marks disappear as the material cools. Makes professional looking orthosis.
When cut while warm, Omega Max forms smooth, sealed edges.

Applications

Use 1/8" Omega Max for hand or wrist splints back supports, anti-spasticity splints, lower extremity positioning splints, serial static splints and bases for dynamic splints.
Use 3/32" Omega Max for lightweight hand or wrist splints. Because of its superior rigidity, 3/32" Omega Max can be used for dynamic splint bases.
Pediatric splints made from the 3/32" thickness have excellent conformability and will hold against strong hypertonicity.

Working Time (1/8")

Allows approximately three minutes to form and harden after softening in 140° F (60° C) to 150° F (65° C) water.
Fastest setup time, ideal for busy clinics and patients who benefit from less handling time
