Create strong, polished splints in less time.
Resistance to Stretch
- Maximum resistance to stretch.
- Omega™ Black can be stretched and pulled around curves without thinning or growing out of control.
- Good for infrequent or novice splinters.
Drape
- Minimum drape.
- Use firm handling to make large or small contours.
- Ideal for splinting clients who are unable to cooperate due to spasticity or non-painful contractures.
Memory
- Moderate memory helps hold the formed shape when reheated.
- Makes smooth, sealed edges if cut when warm.
Rigidity
- Maximum rigidity.
- Upper and lower extremity splints will hold their position even against strong pressure or hypertonicity.
Bonding
- Uncoated material. Provides a very sticky surface when warm and bonds without the need for solvents.
- Sticks easily to itself. Use as bonding agent to attach outriggers or other accessories to splint.
- Use as a bonding agent to attach outriggers or other accessories to a splint or a permanent bond, apply dry heat to the surface until shiny and attach accessories directly to the material.
- Wet bonds can be released in warm water if necessary.
- For easier handling, add liquid soap to water and keep thermoplastic damp while molding.
- Handling instructions are included.
Surface Finish
- Maximum resistance to fingerprints. Can tolerate aggressive handling, resulting in a semi-glossy appearance.
- If pressure or wrappings are removed while Omega™ Black is still warm, marks will disappear from the surface.
Applications
- 1/8" thickness is recommended for larger areas, i.e. spasticity splints, lower extremity positioning splints, back supports and for serial static splinting.
- 3/32" thickness makes excellent fitting wrist and hand splints.
Working Time (1/8")
- Sets up in three to four minutes at 160° F (71°C). Sets up quickly, saving time when splinting frightened or non-compliant patients.
