How Does the Omega Plus Splinting Material Bond?
This splinting material is uncoated and provides a very sticky surface when warm, bonding without the need for solvents. Since it adheres to itself you can use the omega plus material as a bonding agent to attach outriggers or other accessories to a splint. To do so, simply apply dry heat to the surface until it becomes shiny then 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 moulding.
How Well Does the Surface Resist Fingerprints?
This splinting material has the maximum resistance to fingerprints available and can tolerate aggressive handling. If there are any finger prints the pressure or wrappings can be removed while the material is still warm, allowing the marks to disappear from the surface which creates a professional and smooth finish.
