Key Material Benefits
San-Splint is the only Rolyan splinting material with a synthetic polyisoprene base. This base gives it the highest resistance to stretch and the lowest conformability of any Rolyan splinting material. Further, due to the unique base material, San-Splint can be heated in either a hot water splint bath or a hot air oven.
Handling
Resistance to stretch: Maximum
Material does not stretch unless pushed or pulled in a direction and then held until cool, making it easier to handle large, warmed pieces of material. It will not stretch or deform when removed from splint bath.
Conformability: Minimum
Material does not conform to surface contours unless significant force is applied. Low degree of drape.
Memory: Minimum
Ability be reheated and reshaped but will not return to original shape; however, it will lose rigidity if reheated too often.
Bonding: Uncoated
Bond permanently by pinching together heated and dry surfaces.
Physical
Colors: Assorted
White or beige
Thickness: 1/8" (3.2 mm) sheet thickness only
Perforations : Assorted
Available in 1 percent, 2.5 percent or solid material.
Appearance: Opaque when heated
Hardened Splint
Rigidity: Moderate/Maximum (65.6 kpsi*)
Retains shape without reinforcement.
Surface: Smooth
No unwanted fingerprints or markings.

Key Material Benefits
The San-Split Rolyan Thermoplastic Splinting Material utilizes a base that is highly resistant to stretch and offers the lowest conformability of any Rolyan splints. The unique thermoplastic splint material can be heated with a hot water splint bath or in a hot air oven. While the San-Splint can be reheated and reshaped, it will not return to its original shape and can lose rigidity if reheated too often.
Moldable Splint Material for Customized Fit
The maximum resistance to stretch makes it ideal for medium and large splints. The splinting sheet does not stretch unless pushed or pulled in a direction and then held until cool, making it easier to handle large, warmed pieces of material.
It will not stretch or deform when removed from the splint bath. The uncoated surface resists bonding when heated in water, but bonds permanently when edges are heated, dry, and pinched together. San-Splint material adjustments should be made only by a healthcare professional.
Physical Attributes
The Rolyan rigid splint material is available in white or beige with 1%, 2.5%, and solid perforation options. The thermoplastic sheets measure 1/8" (3.2 mm) in thickness with a moderate/maximum rigidity of 65.6 kpsi*.

Rolyan San-Splint™ Thermoplastic Splinting Material
Overview
San-Splint™ is unique among Rolyan thermoplastic splinting materials because it has a synthetic rubber base, which gives it a high resistance to stretch and low conformability. These characteristics provide a high degree of control when conformability is not needed. The cooled splint is rigid and strong, making it ideal for medium and large splints. San-Splint resists bonding when heated in water without having a protective coating to prevent accidental self-bonding. When dry and warm, however, it will bond to itself. When heated in a hot air oven, San-Splint becomes self-bonding.
Rolyan Spectrum of Splinting Material
Rolyan provides therapists and clinicians the largest spectrum of hand therapy products and care. Rolyan empowers every therapist with the passion to mold and shape their patients’ recovery.
Heating Instructions
The recommended method for heating splinting materials is with hot water in a splint bath.
Only use a heat gun for spot-heating and adjustments.

Note: Overheating splinting materials increases the draping/stretching characteristics; allow material to cool slightly before handling to avoid excess stretching.
Indications
Splinting materials are intended to be used for fabrication of custom-molded rigid splints, orthoses, and adaptive equipment.
Best uses include:
- Resting splints
- Splints for spasticity
- Splints for burns
- Foot orthotics (ambulatory)
- Foot drop splints
- Ankle stirrup splints
- Shoulder splints
- Fracture braces
- Back supports
Care & Cleaning
Store at temperatures between 40° and 90°F (4° and 32°C) and less than 65 percent relative humidity. Avoid prolonged exposure to light, especially ultraviolet. Avoid exposure to corrosive and ethylene oxide fumes.
Formed splints will lose their shape in temperatures over 135°F(57°C) and should be kept away from sources of heat such as ovens, hot water, and car windows.
Clean splint with soap and lukewarm water. Allow splint and straps to dry thoroughly before reapplication.
Precautions for finished orthoses
Splint adjustments are to be made only by a health care professional, who is responsible for providing wearing instructions and precautions to other practitioners, care providers and the patient. If unusual swelling, skin discoloration or discomfort occurs, discontinue use and consult a health care professional.
