ORFICAST THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL ON A ROLL
Orficast is a unique, textile-like thermoplastic orthotic fabrication material on a roll. It offers high comfort for your patients and is very easy to use. A large variety in widths and thicknesses enables you to treat a wide range of pathologies and to accommodate different orthotic designs. Orficast More can be used to fabricate a volar or dorsal slab for increased rigidity
Characteristics
.Thermoplastic material on a 3-metre roll
.Excellent elasticity in two directions
.Adaptable when needed
.Thin and breathable fabric-like material
.Easy to cut
.Self-adhesive capacity, especially when dry heated
.Available in a thin (Orficast) and a thick (Orficast More) version, in different widths and colours
How it looks and works
.Material on a roll allows circumferential wrapping and moulding techniques
.Time saving. No need to make a pattern
Perfect size/width for small and larger orthoses. Can accommodate different sized fingers and different orthotic designs. The wider Orficast More can be used to fabricate a volar or dorsal slab or a circumferential orthosis
.The material is easily stretched to conform to the patient’s unique anatomy
.Orthoses can be adapted when corrections are needed (avoids waste of material)
.Soft feeling and smooth edges
.The material is lightweight and allows ventilation (prevents maceration of the skin)
.Excellent patient comfort and compliance
.Small pieces can be used as reinforcement of the orthoses when desired
.Overlapping seams are not perceptible on the inside
.Precise moulding and a snug fit prevent pressure points
Recommended applications
.Perfect to use in case of traumatic and orthopaedic conditions which require quick and easy orthoses
.Recommended as first aid product for quick immobilization and stabilization after injury
.Serial static orthoses and static progressive orthoses to regain range of motion of smaller joints
.Recommended for children, newborns, patients with fragile skin and/or arthritic conditions
.All types of immobilization for finger, hand, wrist, and for orthoses that go beyond the wrist or even ankle orthoses
