Description

Allows repeated remolding for perfect results. Turns translucent when warm.

Resistance to Stretch

-Minimum to moderate resistance to stretch.
-Can be used for single-surface splinting or stretched circumferentially.

Drape

-Maximum drape. Excellent conformability and reproduction of detail.
-Turns translucent when thoroughly heated and retains its clarity for the first few minutes of molding, allowing visibility of landmarks and bony prominences.

Memory

-100 percent memory.

-Will regain its original cut shape and size every time it is reheated.

-Encore can be used to make a variety of orthoses, providing firm to lightweight support from the hand to the foot.

-Turns translucent when warm.

Rigidity

-Moderately rigid splints.
-If a more flexible splint is required, simply stretch the material to achieve the desired rigidity and thickness.

Bonding

-Traditional coating has a tacky surface that helps hold the splint in place during molding.
-Pieces pinched together can be pulled apart once cooled.
-Use only dry heat and firm pressure to bond firmly; use solvent to form a permanent bond.

Surface Finish

-Resists fingerprinting for a smooth, shiny surface. To remove marks and bring out shine, dip in warm water or lightly heat the surface with dry heat.

-Use 3/32 in. Encore for hand and wrist splints, arthritis splints, circumferential splints and burn splints. It is also ideal as a base for smaller dynamic outriggers.
