Encore Thermoplastics

Sheets sold individually.

Allows repeated remoulding for perfect results. Turns translucent when warm.

Resistance to Stretch:

Minimum to moderate resistance to stretch.  Ideal for single-surface splinting or stretched circumferentially

Drape:

Maximum drape. Excellent conformability and reproduction of detail. Turns translucent when thoroughly heated and retains its clarity for the first few minutes of moulding, allowing visibility of landmarks and bony prominences

Memory:

100% memory. Will regain its original cut shape and size every time it is reheated

Encore can be used to make a variety of orthoses, providing firm to lightweight support from the hand to the foot

Rigidity:

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

Bonding:

Traditional coating has a tacky surface that helps hold the splint in place during moulding, Pieces pinched together can be pulled apart once cooled, Use only dry heat and firm pressure to bond firmly, use solvent to form a permanent bond

Surface Finish:

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