SecurPlast Thermoplastic Sheets

SecurPlast is the low-temperature thermoplastic Australian hand therapists reach for when a splint has to hold its shape. It softens in a water bath at about 65 °C, drapes and moulds easily, then sets rigid and strong with excellent memory. It resists unwanted stretch while you work, so it forgives a slow mould, and it stays latex free for skin-friendly, long-term wear.

Who it's for

Adult and paediatric static and dynamic splinting; post-burn and post-surgical positioning; any pattern you'd normally cut from a 46 × 61 cm sheet. Clinics buy it in multiples because one sheet yields several hand-based splints.

Choosing a thickness

• 1.6 mm — finger and thumb splints, paediatric work, anything where low profile and light weight matter.
• 2.4 mm — the all-rounder for wrist and hand-based splints; strong enough for most adult forearm-based designs.
• 3.2 mm — elbow, forearm and load-bearing splints, and larger patients.

Solid or perforated?

Perforated sheets breathe, weigh less and suit long wear times and warm climates. Solid sheets give the strongest, smoothest splint and are easier to trim cleanly at the edges.

Colours

Black, Metallic Blue, Light Blue and White. Colour doesn't change the material; many therapists keep black and blue for adults and white for paediatrics.
