North Coast Medical Spectrum 1/8" (3.2mm) Smooth Splinting Material
Responsive splinting material that puts you in control, splint after splint.
Resistance to Stretch
Moderate resistance to stretch.
When purposely stretched, Spectrum thins evenly so it can be used to make all types of splints with intimate fit and support.
Drape
Moderate degree of drape.
With smooth, firm handling, conforms closely for an optimal fit.
Memory
Moderate memory.
Material springs back slightly when stretched or contoured.
Splints will hold their shape when heated mildly for fitting adjustments.
Rigidity
Moderate to firm rigidity.
Ideal for layer joint positioning.
Bonding
Traditional coating has slight tacky feel but won’t adhere to bandages. Forms a strong bond when dry heated and pressed together firmly.
Use solvent to remove coating and dry heat to form a permanent bond.
Surface Finish
Resists fingerprinting. Marks and fingerprints disappear during cooling.
Applications
Features unique memory and stretch that is ideal for circumferential splints, neurological splints, all hand and wrist splinting, as well as for fracture bracing, lower extremity positioning splints and pediatric, non-weight bearing AFOs.
Working time
Allows three to five minutes to form and harden after softening in 160° F (71° C) water.
Latex Free
See Specs tab for perforation and thickness.
Dimension: 18" x 24" (46 x 61cm)
