Create your own flexible splints tailored to your patient's needs.
Neoprene has a degree of elasticity enabling controlled movement, it consists of nylon lining on one side and pile material on the other over a rubber core, making for easy hook attachment. Neoprene can be used as strapping on a splint or to make soft splints by fusing pieces together with seam tape and iron. Advantages of neoprene are that it is lighter in weight than a thermoplastic splint solution so particularly suitable for paediatric applications. Ideal for arthritis, neoprene offers warmth for those who have aching joints. With a little elasticity, the Neoprene creates comfortable straps that contour to the body for a nice fit.
