Multicast Splinting Range of Thermoplastics

Multicast Thermoplastic Splinting

SPLINTING RANGE

Traditional treatment for fractures and other injuries or therapy lead to the long-term immobilization traditionally in a plaster cast. Not only is it uncomfortable for the patient, but it also carries the danger of functional loss as a result of muscle atrophy and permanent stiffening of joints due to capsular withering and cartilage degeneration.

It is much more easy to prevent joint stiffness than it is to overcome it once it has occurred. One must remember that all static splints must be taken off at intervals and exercises have to be performed.

A truly dynamic method of treatment

The idea that more 'dynamic' methods of treatment are preferable has gained more and more credibility. Dynamic splinting provides constant force over a long period of time. Active motion can be encouraged. The pumping effect of muscle contraction helps relieve edema and increases joint range of motion.

Multicast Standard
The patented velvet like surface provides perfect conformity and comfort. Ease-of-use and exceptional ventilation properties have made Multicast a favourite among medical professionals. Multicast Standard will not stick to itself in hot water.

Multicast Ortho
Multicast Ortho is an exceptionally versatile thermoplastic material that offers the advantages of transparency when heated. Multicast Ortho offers maximum drape and has a lower heating temperature than Multicast Standard.

Multicast Rigid
Follows the exact contours of the treated surface. After processing it transforms into a hard splint. It does not need reinforcing, its rigid, light-weight and does not shrink. Multicast Strong is the most rigid material in the range.

Multicast Precut Splints
Multicast Precuts are shaped splints that are cut to size and ready to be applied to the body, saving you time and money. Available in a variety of sizes and styles, Pre-cuts reduce fabrication costs with no need for tracing, designing and cutting.
