Rolyan San-Splint Thermoplastic Splinting Material

Key Material Benefits

San-Splint is the only Rolyan splinting material with a synthetic polyisoprene base. This base gives it the highest resistance to stretch and the lowest conformability of any Rolyan splinting material. Further, due to the unique base material, San-Splint can be heated in either a hot water splint bath or a hot air oven.

Handling

Resistance to stretch: Maximum

Material does not stretch unless pushed or pulled in a direction and then held until cool, making it easier to handle large, warmed pieces of material. It will not stretch or deform when removed from splint bath.

Conformability: Minimum

Material does not conform to surface contours unless significant force is applied. Low degree of drape.

Memory: Minimum

Ability be reheated and reshaped but will not return to original shape; however, it will lose rigidity if reheated too often.

Bonding: Uncoated

Bond permanently by pinching together heated and dry surfaces.

Physical

Colors: Assorted

White or beige

Thickness: 1/8″ (3.2 mm) sheet thickness only

Perforations : Assorted

Available in 1 percent, 2.5 percent or solid material.

Appearance: Opaque when heated

Hardened Splint

Rigidity: Moderate/Maximum (65.6 kpsi*)

Retains shape without reinforcement.

Surface: Smooth

No unwanted fingerprints or markings.

Key Material Benefits

The San-Split Rolyan Thermoplastic Splinting Material utilizes a base that is highly resistant to stretch and offers the lowest conformability of any Rolyan splints. The unique thermoplastic splint material can be heated with a hot water splint bath or in a hot air oven. While the San-Splint can be reheated and reshaped, it will not return to its original shape and can lose rigidity if reheated too often.

Moldable Splint Material for Customized Fit

The maximum resistance to stretch makes it ideal for medium and large splints. The splinting sheet does not stretch unless pushed or pulled in a direction and then held until cool, making it easier to handle large, warmed pieces of material.

It will not stretch or deform when removed from the splint bath. The uncoated surface resists bonding when heated in water, but bonds permanently when edges are heated, dry, and pinched together. San-Splint material adjustments should be made only by a healthcare professional.

Physical Attributes

The Rolyan rigid splint material is available in white or beige with 1%, 2.5%, and solid perforation options. The thermoplastic sheets measure 1/8″ (3.2 mm) in thickness with a moderate/maximum rigidity of 65.6 kpsi*.
