Oval-8® CLEAR Finger Splint FAQs
Please click here for more information
Are the Oval-8 CLEAR Splints the same as the Beige Splints?
Both the Classic Beige splints and the NEW CLEAR Splints are made in the same molds but they are made from different materials.
- Beige splints are 100% Polypropylene and CLEAR splints are made from Copolyester
- The sizes may feel different due to the different surface feel of the material. The CLEAR may be perceived as being easier to apply or remove due to less resistance on the skin. The CLEAR splints are more resistant to bending and wearers should be instructed to avoid repeatedly stressing the splints
Is there an advantage to wearing the CLEAR splints vs the Beige splints?
- A great deal of testing was done to find a clear thermoplastic material that has the same or very similar characteristics as the Beige splints. Due to the nature of clear polymers, it is not possible to create a perfect match and the CLEAR material used was found to be the closest match after extensive testing.
- Both the Beige and CLEAR splints can be worn for all the same conditions and in the same way. Patients can not choose a color preference or choose both colors depending on how, or when they are wearing them
Can Oval-8 splints be adjusted to alter the fit or angle of the splint?
- Both the Beige and Oval-8 CLEAR splints can be adjusted with a narrow nozzle heat gun
- CLEAR splints require less heating time (2-3 seconds) than the Beige (3-4 seconds)
- CLEAR splints require less pressure to alter the splint as they become soft when heated
How long will Oval-8 Splints last?
- How the splints are worn and used will determine how long the splints last. The Beige splints have been proven to last for several years of daily use. It is not yet known how long the CLEAR splints will last
Do they contain latex?
- No natural rubber latex was used in the product or packaging
