What our Experts Think
- Ultra-Lightweight Thermoplastic Performance – Orfilight splinting material is engineered for low-profile orthotic fabrication, reducing bulk while maintaining reliable structural support.
- 3/32" Thickness for Balanced Support – Offers a strong yet highly moldable base, ideal for hand, wrist, and upper-limb splints requiring precision control and comfort.
- Micro-Perforated Design for Breathability – Fine perforations enhance airflow, reduce moisture buildup, and improve long-wear comfort, especially for sensitive skin or extended use.
- Fast, Controlled Molding Response – Heats quickly and allows smooth draping, giving clinicians accurate shaping time with consistent set quality.
- Versatile 18" x 24" Sheet Format – Practical medium size suitable for creating multiple custom splints or larger single orthotic devices efficiently.
- Clean Edge Finish & Professional Results – Designed for smooth trimming and polished edges, supporting high-quality clinical orthosis outcomes.
- Latex-Free Clinical Safety – Suitable for hospital and therapy environments where allergen control and patient safety are essential.
- Ideal for Advanced Rehab Applications – Frequently used in neurological rehab, post-fracture care, tendon repair, and progressive splinting programs.

Maintenance Tips
- Store flat in a cool, dry place away from direct heat to prevent premature softening or deformation.
- Keep sheets in original packaging to protect from dust, moisture, and contamination.
- Avoid exposure to high temperatures until intentional molding, as material becomes pliable with heat.
- Handle with clean, dry hands or gloves to maintain surface integrity before shaping.
- When reheating, use controlled temperatures only as recommended to avoid bubbling or weakening.
- Do not overstretch during molding; shape gradually to preserve structural strength.
- Clean finished splints with mild soap and water; dry thoroughly before reuse or storage.
