Thermoplastic & Splinting Accessories

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.

Specifications

• Sheet size 46 × 61 cm
• Working temperature approx. 65 °C water bath; working time approx. 3–5 minutes
• Latex free; self-bonding when dry-heated
• Softening and moulding guides available for all our thermoplastics — ask us

Order it with

Self-adhesive hook and Durable double-sided loop for strapping; splint socks for the patient; a splinting tool box if you're setting up a new room. We also stock a large range of pre-cuts and heat pans — call 02 9878 6188. Samples available on request.

SKU reference

SecurForm is the forgiving all-rounder among low-temperature thermoplastics. Minimum-to-moderate stretch means the material does what you ask and not more; moderate drape gives good contour under light pressure; and because it has only minimal memory, you can reheat and adjust a splint a few times without it thinning or shrinking. A powder coating gives it a slightly tacky feel that holds it in place while you work.

Who it's for

Hand therapists and orthotists making static and dynamic splints for adults and children, and post-burn and post-surgical positioning. If you are new to splinting, or you train students, this is the material to start on.

Choosing a sheet

• 2.4 mm: lighter, more drape; finger and hand-based splints.
• 3.2 mm: more rigid; wrist, forearm and larger splints.
• Perforated (1%) for airflow on splints worn for long periods; solid for maximum strength and a clean surface.

Working with it

Handle it flat and form in a gravity-assisted position with smooth, gentle movements. A wet bond holds firmly but can be pulled apart once cool; dry-heat two surfaces for a strong bond, or scrape off the coating and dry-heat for a permanent one. Edges self-seal, so splints look finished without extra work. Beige resists fingerprints and stains.

Details

• Sheet 46 cm x 61 cm
• Natural (beige) or light blue
• Pre-cut splint patterns available; call 02 9878 6188 for a quote

SecurPlast for a firmer, higher-memory material; our guide how to choose thermoplastic splinting materials explains the differences.

SecurFit Pro Thermoplastic Sheets 

Unlimited potential for lightweight conforming hand based splints

Like Orfit™ Classic SECURFIT PRO™ becomes transparent when heated (65-70°C) and super strong when cool. SECURFIT™ defies fingerprinting and cools to a beautiful smooth finish. Pro thermoplastic splinting material can be used to make a variety of orthoses, providing firm to lightweight support and is similar to Aquaplast™.and Securplast SecurFit Pro has 100% memory and turns transparent when completely heated. You will find that this product has a little bit of flex and is patient compliant.

Characteristics

MEMORY:
100% memory- easily returns to its original shape and size when reheated.

RTS: Minimal to moderate resistance to stretch. Can be used for single-surface splinting or stretched circumferentially.

DRAPE: Maximum drape. Excellent conformability and detail reproduction. Turns transparent when completely heated and retains its clarity for the first few minutes of molding, allowing visibility of landmarks and bony prominences.

RIGIDITY: Moderately rigid splints. If a more flexible splint is required, simply stretch the material to achieve the desired rigidity and thickness.

BONDING: Coating needs to be removed for permanent bonding- use dry heat.

SURFACE FINISH: Resists fingerprints for a smooth, shiny surface. To remove marks and bring out shine, dip in warm water or lightly heat the surface with dry heat.

Latex Free Skin friendly and non-irritating. Can be disposed of with normal waste and will biodegrade over time.

Choose from three thicknesses: 1.6mm, 2.4mm, or 3.2mm.

Choose Perforated 11% or solid sheet.

Sheet dimensions: 46cm x61cm

SECUREZE provides a slightly sticky surface when warm to keep material in place for an intimate fit. A permanent bond is achieved by applying dry heat and pinching it together firmly. No solvent is needed. Ideal for making strong, rigid splints for patients who are hard to position or have strong joint contractures.

Surface Finish: Resists fingerprinting. Fingerprints and other marks can be smoothed away by rubbing the surface gently while the splint is warm. Leaves sealed, smooth edges when cut warm. Latex Free: skin friendly without sensitisation and environment friendly with self-degradation.

Sheet dimensions: 46cm x61cm

Colour: White

Please note: We do not offer perforated sheets for this product.

NOW ALSO AVAILABLE: SecurEze ++, available in 3.2mm Plain sheets. SecurEze ++ has all the benefits of our regular SecurEze product but is overall better quality, with the addition of being extra firm and having improved stretch.

SecurImmo+ Non-Stick is a 2 mm micro-perforated thermoplastic that won't grab skin, hair, bandages or itself while you mould it. A non-stick coating on both faces lets you form a circumferential splint directly on the limb and lift it off cleanly once cool. It turns transparent when heated so you can see the fit, and it has very good memory, drape, stretch and finishing.

Who it's for

Hand therapists and orthotists making custom rigid splints, orthoses and adaptive equipment, especially circumferential and paediatric work where a sticky material is a nuisance. Five bright colours suit children's splints.

Working with it

Because the coating stops it bonding to itself, permanent joins need the coating removed: scrape the area, spot-heat with a heat gun, and press firmly. Manual bonding is possible.

Details

• 2 mm, micro-perforated
• Sheet 60 cm x 43 cm
• Pink, red, yellow, royal blue or black

Alternative Consideration

• We also have available a range of neoprene supplied in Neoloop Straps for the attachment of hook fasteners.

Neoloop is neoprene strap with loop fabric on one face and nylon on the other, so hook tape grips it anywhere along its length. Cut it to size, wrap it round a limb, a device or a handle, and press on hook. Because the neoprene has body, it makes stiffer, more padded straps than plain loop tape: the strap for custom positioning splints, padded handles and any support that needs a wide, soft closure.

Who it's for

Hand therapists and orthotists building custom splints and positioning devices; OTs padding handles and making adaptive grips.

Choosing a strap

• 1 mm: flexible; small splints and light straps.
• 2 mm: the usual choice for wrist and hand splints.
• 3 mm: firm and well padded; positioning devices and larger limbs.
• 25 mm wide for fingers, thumbs and small hands; 50 mm for wrists, forearms and legs.

Details
