Use to monitor healing wounds, sensitive skin and scar tissue. Orfit Crystal NS is ideal for creating a soft and comfortable support for a painful joint. Athletes will appreciate its lightness and flexibility.
Characteristics
- Transparent

How it works and looks
- Allows observation of underlying anatomy while molding. Easy to detect pressure points.
- No accidental bonding. Allows for molding directly over bandages and cotton linings in post-surgical conditions. Coating allows for temporary bonding during fabrication
- Small corrections can be made after reheating locally.
- Flexible orthoses can help remind patients to avoid extreme positioning without completely immobilizing their extremity.
- Allows for the fabrication of lightweight and therefore more comfortable orthoses.
Recommended applications
- Soft and flexible circumferential orthoses for protection during sporting and activities.
- Transparent orthoses to monitor healing wounds and scars.
- Use as an interface between burned skin and a hard shell pressure mask.
- Create a supportive and/or proprioceptive orthosis for patients when rigidity is no longer required.
