Description

Preferred Perf 3/32 18 x 24 in (Pack of 1)Our most versatile splinting material can be used by novice or experienced splinters alike. Resistance to StretchMinimum to moderate resistance to stretch allows the splinter to control the material throughout the splinting process. NCM Preferred® tolerates minimum to moderate handling during splint molding. Handle on a horizontal plane and form splint in a gravity-assisted position. Gentle, smooth motions yield superior results.DrapeNCM Preferred® has moderate drape and offers conformability with only light to moderate pressure. Lightweight 3/32“ NCM Preferred® provides more drape than 1/8“ NCM Preferred® .Memory/RecoveryWith minimum to moderate memory and recovery, splints can be modified a few times without thinning. Reheated splints will not thin or shrink, making it easy to adjust for bandage or edema changes.RigiditySplints made from NCM Preferred® have a moderate degree of rigidity. A circumferential splint made of NCM Preferred® is flexible enough for easy donning and doffing, yet strong enough for immobilization. Splints will give slightly against strong force and will resist breaking. BondingThe unique powder coating gives NCM Preferred® a tacky feel that helps hold the material in place, allowing the splinter to achieve contours and positioning without the material pulling or falling away. A wet bond will hold firmly but can be pulled apart once cooled. Dry heating two surfaces will form a strong bond. For a permanent bond, use solvent minimally and dry heat prior to bonding.Surface FinishLow-profile, beige color has moderate resistance to fingerprints and resists showing stains. Smooth, self-sealing edges do not require additional finishing, resulting in a professional finish, even after reheating.Applications1/8“ NCM Preferred® can be used for almost any splinting application. Use for dynamic and static splinting for adult and pediatric positioning and for
