.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
