Rolyan Aquaplast ProDrape-T Thermoplastic Splinting Material

Key Material Benefits

ProDrape is part of the Aquaplast family, the only Rolyan splinting family that turns transparent when heated and has 100 percent memory.

ProDrape has the added feature of being the most conformable of all Aquaplast materials.

Handling

Resistance to stretch: Minimum

Stretches easily when heated and only needs soft, gentle pressure to form a splint. Be careful not to allow the material to stretch too much.

Conformability: Moderate/Maximum

Easily conforms to surface contours and detail, reducing time spent fabricating splint, and provides a precise fit for increased comfort and fewer pressure areas. High degree of drape.

Memory: 100 percent

When reheated, the material “remembers” its original shape and returns to it. Allows for repeated reheating and reshaping for splint revisions.

Bonding: Coated

Create a temporary bond by pinching together heated material; however, it will come apart when cooled. Form a permanent bond by scrubbing off the coating or removing it with a bond solvent.
