Orfit Classic has excellent elastic and adhesive qualities. Its wide product range makes it ideal for all splint types. It is excellent as a base for different attachments and has unlimited potential for fabrication of very large to very small orthoses, according to the thickness you select.

Characteristics

• Transparent when activated.
• Non-coated material.
• Excellent stretch (1000%) without tearing.
• Full elastic memory (100%).
• Easy to trim edges.
• Available in high stretch (“soft”) and low stretch (“stiff”) version.
• Antibacterial property.

How it works and looks

• Transparency indicates when the material is ready to mould. Allows for proper alignment and visual monitoring over anatomical landmarks.
• Temporary adhesion during splint fabrication and reliable permanent bonding by using dry heat. Tackiness helps orthosis stay in place during fabrication. All attachments and outriggers can be adhered easily.
• Very precise moulding conforms to patient anatomy, for example in the hand arches and first web space. Accurate moulding improves correct dispersion of skin pressure.
• Completely remouldable and can be adjusted easily after reheating locally.
• Avoids waste of material.
• Soft version has less resistance to stretch and more drape, while stiff version has increased resistance to stretch and less drape.

Recommended applications

• Unlimited potential for the fabrication of all size splints with extra care and prevention of pressure points. Excellent as a base for different attachments.
• “Soft” version recommended for: small finger orthoses, thumb orthoses, resting hand orthoses, wrist and wrist/thumb orthoses and circumferential designs.
• “Stiff” version recommended for: large orthoses, long arm orthoses, AFO’s and fracture and anti-spastic bracing.
