Rolyan TailorSplint™ Thermoplastic Splinting Material
Overview
TailorSplint™,the most versatile and popular Rolyan splinting material, has the perfect balance between conformability and resistance to stretch. The moderate resistance to stretch gives the clinician good control, and it will not stretch out of shape when removed from the splint bath, making it an excellent choice for medium and large splints. The high level of conformability provides detail when needed, perfect for smaller splints. When cooled, TailorSplint creates a strong, rigid splint that is resistant to dents, cracks, and breaks.

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.
