The low activation temperature (65°C -149°F) allows you to apply Orficast/Orficast More directly onto your patient without burning the skin.
The Orficast products conform perfectly to the patient’s individual anatomy.
The activation time is really quick! (Maximum 1 minute for Orficast and 2 minutes for Orficast More in a Suspan water bath at 65°C). There is enough working time to wrap or position the material on the patient. Within 1-2 minutes, the orthosis is already hard enough to support the injured body part.
The knitted structure results in a stretchable, thin, lightweight orthosis which allows the skin to breath and prevents maceration.
There is no need to wear gloves while using and applying Orficast.
Heat activated Orficast is self-adhesive, without the risk of accidental bonding: the overlapping layers will stick to each other when firmly pressed together, seams will stick permanently together if the material is cut whilst still warm. This makes it great for beginning and experienced therapists
The fabricated Orficast orthosis can easily be trimmed with scissors to remove excessive material. Hook and loop tape can easily be attached to the orthosis to ensure a good support.
The resulting orthosis is light and compact, allowing patients the ability to continue their daily tasks without interference.
Orficast has a comfortable and soft feeling: the edges of the overlapping layers or seams after cutting are visible on the outside of the splint/ cast but are not felt on the inside.
Orficast can be reactivated in order to completely remake the splint or make small corrections to the shape.
