Orfit Orficast Thermoplastic Casting Tape

Manufacturer's Description

Orficast is a unique, textile-like thermoplastic orthotic fabrication material on a roll. It offers high comfort for your patients and is very easy to use. A large variety in widths and thicknesses enables you to treat a wide range of pathologies and to accommodate different orthotic designs. Orficast More can be used to fabricate a volar or dorsal slab for increased rigidity.

Characteristics

• Thermoplastic material on a 3-metre roll.
• Excellent elasticity in two directions.
• Adaptable when needed.
• Thin and breathable fabric-like material.
• Easy to cut.
• Self-adhesive capacity, especially when dry heated.
• Available in a thin (Orficast) and a thick (Orficast More) version, in different widths and colours.

How it looks and works

• Material on a roll allows circumferential wrapping and moulding techniques.
• Time saving. No need to make a pattern.
• Perfect size/width for small and larger orthoses. Can accommodate different sized fingers and different orthotic designs. The wider Orficast More can be used to fabricate a volar or dorsal slab or a circumferential orthosis.
• The material is easily stretched to conform to the patient’s unique anatomy.
• Orthoses can be adapted when corrections are needed (avoids waste of material).
• Soft feeling and smooth edges.
• The material is lightweight and allows ventilation (prevents maceration of the skin).
• Excellent patient comfort and compliance.
• Small pieces can be used as reinforcement of the orthoses when desired.
• Overlapping seams are not perceptible on the inside.
• Precise moulding and a snug fit prevent pressure points.

Recommended applications

• Perfect to use in case of traumatic and orthopaedic conditions which require quick and easy orthoses.
• Recommended as first aid product for quick immobilization and stabilization after injury.
• Serial static orthoses and static progressive orthoses to regain range of motion of smaller joints.
• Recommended for children, newborns, patients with fragile skin and/or arthritic conditions.
• All types of immobilization for finger, hand, wrist, and for orthoses that go beyond the wrist or even ankle orthoses.
