North Coast Medical Omega Black Thermoplastic- Create strong, polished splints in less time.
Resistance to Stretch
- Maximum resistance to stretch.
- Omega™ Black can be stretched and pulled around curves without thinning or growing out of control.
- Good for infrequent or novice splinters.
Drape
- Minimum drape.
- Use firm handling to make large or small contours.
- Ideal for splinting clients who are unable to cooperate due to spasticity or non-painful contractures.
Memory
- Moderate memory helps hold the formed shape when reheated.
- Makes smooth, sealed edges if cut when warm.
Rigidity
- Maximum rigidity.
- Upper and lower extremity splints will hold their position even against strong pressure or hypertonicity.
Bonding
- Traditional coating prevents sticking to bandages or accidental bonding.
- A wet bond can be pulled apart easily when cool.
- Permanent bond using solvent and dry heat.
Surface Finish
- Maximum resistance to fingerprints. Can tolerate aggressive handling, resulting in a semi-glossy appearance.
- If pressure or wrappings are removed while Omega™ Black is still warm, marks will disappear from the surface.
Applications
- 1/8in thickness is recommended for larger areas, i.e. spasticity splints, lower extremity positioning splints, back supports and for serial static splinting.
- 3/32in thickness makes excellent fitting wrist and hand splints.
Working Time
- (1/8in) Sets up in three to four minutes at 160° F (71°C).
- Sets up quickly, saving time when splinting frightened or non-compliant patients.
