Protherm Max™

Conformability, moderate RTS, and 100% memory combine for a versatile splinting material.

Resistance to Stretch

  • Moderate resistance to stretch.
  • Moderate to aggressive handling is tolerated.

Drape

  • Moderate to maximum drape to create a close conforming fit.
  • Provides excellent reproduction of detail.

Memory

  • 100% memory, ideal for serial splinting.
  • Always recovers its original cut shape and size when reheated.

Rigidity

  • Moderate to maximum rigidity.

Bonding

  • Uncoated material. Provides a very sticky surface when warm and bonds without the need for solvents.
  • Sticks easily to itself. Use as bonding agent to attach outriggers or other accessories to splint.
  • Use as a bonding agent to attach outriggers or other accessories to a splint or a permanent bond, apply dry heat to the surface until shiny and attach accessories directly to the material. 
  • Wet bonds can be released in warm water if necessary. 
  • For easier handling, add liquid soap to water and keep thermoplastic damp while molding. 
  • Handling instructions are included. 

Surface Finish

  • Finished splints have a smooth, glossy surface.
  • Fingerprints and other surface marks disappear as the material cools. Makes professional looking orthosis.
  • When cut while warm, Omega™ Max forms smooth, sealed edges.

Applications

  • Use 1/8" Omega™ Max for hand or wrist splints back supports, anti-spasticity splints, lower extremity positioning splints, serial static splints and bases for dynamic splints.
  • Use 3/32" Omega™ Max for lightweight hand or wrist splints. Because of its superior rigidity, 3/32" Omega™ Max can be used for dynamic splint bases.
  • Pediatric splints made from the 3/32" thickness have excellent conformability and will hold against strong hypertonicity.

Working Time (1/8")

  • Allows approximately three minutes to form and harden after softening in 140° F (60° C) to 150° F (66° C) water.
  • Fastest setup time, ideal for busy clinics and patients who benefit from less handling time
