PRocEDURE
Modification
These splints are made from either
Polyform
splinting material (Rolyan
®
B
Neutral Position Hand Splint) or
Polyflex II
splinting material (Rolyan Deluxe
®
Spasticity Hand Splint). To trim or modify
the splint, spot-heat it with a heat gun or in
a heat pan of water at a temperature of 150°
to 160°F (65°–70°C) for one minute or until
pliable. Heating the entire splint may cause
it to lose its preformed shape. For better
results when modifying the material, shape it
with stroking movements.
