Rolyan Aquaplast Thermoplastic Splinting Material

Key Material Benefits

The Aquaplast family is the only Rolyan splinting family that has 100 percent memory. It also is the only family that turns transparent or translucent when heated. These two unique characteristics help the clinician form the perfect-fitting splint with the ability to revise the material when needed.

Aquaplast, unlike Aquaplast-T, has no protective coating and will bond to itself instantly without surface preparation.
