Orfit® Classic, Soft, 18" X 24" X 1/8", Non-Perforated

Orfit Classic soft thermoplastic splinting material is a non-perforated sheet sized 18 inch x 24 inch x 1/8 inch. It fits orthotic fabrication workflows that need close molding around anatomic contours, from very small to very large orthoses. The non-coated material sticks easily to itself and outrigger attachments, turns transparent when ready for molding, and bonds permanently with dry heat.

Good Fit For

• Orthotic fabrication needing close contour molding
• Workflows using outrigger attachments
• Very small to very large orthoses

Key Features

• Soft Orfit Classic material supports accurate molding around anatomic contours
• Non-perforated sheet offers a solid surface for fabrication needs
• Non-coated material sticks easily to itself and outrigger attachments
• Temporary bonding during fabrication can become permanent when exposed to dry heat
• Material turns transparent when ready for molding for better visibility during fabrication
• 18 inch x 24 inch x 1/8 inch sheet works across very small to very large orthoses

Applications and Usage

• Forming orthoses that need accurate molding around anatomic contours
• Fabrication steps where visual confirmation during heating and molding is helpful
• Projects that benefit from material sticking to itself during assembly
• Building orthoses that use outrigger attachments

Packaging and Handling

• Packaging: EA.
• This is the soft version, selected when increased molding around contours matters more than the added support of the stiff version.
• The sheet is non-perforated, so buyers looking for airflow or weight reduction may want a perforated version instead.
• Permanent bonding occurs with dry heat, which may affect fabrication workflow and rework planning.

FAQ

• Is this the soft or stiff version of Orfit Classic? This sheet is the soft version. The soft version is used for increased and accurate molding around anatomic contours.
• What size is this Orfit Classic sheet? This sheet measures 18 inch x 24 inch x 1/8 inch.
• Is this sheet perforated? No. This version is non-perforated.
• How does the material behave during fabrication? Orfit Classic material sticks easily to itself and outrigger attachments. It bonds temporarily during fabrication, then permanently when exposed to dry heat.
• How can I tell when the material is ready for molding? The material turns transparent when it is ready for molding, which helps with visibility during the fabrication process.
