Orficast - Thermoplastic Tape

Use Orficast Thermoplastic Tape to quickly and easily make small hand splints, particularly splints to support hypermobile thumb joints. This is the ideal material as it's easy to work with and very forgiving - all you need is a kettle. Easily re-moulded by popping the material back in the hot water.

• Orficast Thermoplastic Tape is a thin, breathable, ventilated thermoplastic tape that conforms readily to create a precise fitting orthosis with smooth edges and a soft feel.
• Specially designed knit fabric made of low temperature thermoplastic material. You can soften this material by dipping it in a bowl of hot water boiled in the kettle.
• Then wrap the area by overlapping. Layers bond together when warm and come apart if forced open after cooling. Apply 2 to 3 layers for a semi-flexible support. You can trim with scissors and it's easy to smooth and flare edges.
• Latex free. Comes in a 3 metre roll, 3 cm wide.
