North Coast Medical Omega Plus 1/8" (3.2 mm) Smooth White Splint Material
Maximum resistance to stretch and minimum drape allows aggressive handling.
Resistance to Stretch
Maximum resistance to stretch. Firm handling needed to stretch material.
Omega Plus can be stretched and pulled around curves without thinning or growing out of control.
Drape
Minimum drape.
Use firm handling, for smaller contours. Best for larger joints of the body needing firm support.
Ideal for splinting clients who are unable to cooperate due to spasticity or non-painful contractures.
Memory
100% memory. Ideal for serial splinting.
If mistake is made in fitting, reheat and start over.
Good for infrequent or novice splinters.
Rigidity
Maximum rigidity.
Upper and lower extremity splints will hold their position even against strong pressure or hypertonicity.
Bonding
Unique powder coating provides a slightly tacky surface when warm. A wet bond will hold firmly but can be pulled apart when cool.
Permanent bond with minimum solvent and dry heat.
Surface Finish
Maximum resistance to fingerprints. Can tolerate aggressive handling.
If pressure or wrappings are removed while Omega Plus is still warm, marks will disappear from the surface.
Applications
Use for anti-spasticity splints, lower extremity positioning splints, shoulder abduction (airplane) splints, back supports and for serial static splinting.
Working Time (1/8")
Sets up in three to four minutes at 160° F (71° C). Sets up quickly saving time if splinting frightened or non-compliant patients.
