Thumb Splint

Ohio is a splinting material with 100% memory, moderate drape and good rigidity.

Description

Manosplint Ohio is a low-temperature thermoplastic with 100% memory that is ideal for a wide range of splints. Translucency when heated allows for clear visibility of the target areas. Ohio has a non-stick coating, providing a smooth, glossy surface that will allow temporary ‘pinch bonds’ but will not permanently bond unless the coating is removed.

Other features include: 100% memory, moderate resistance to stretch, moderate drape, high rigidity and resists finger prints.
