Key Material Benefits
Polyflex II is the only Rolyan splint that is flexible enough when cooled to directly resist stress fatigue. It will resist the start and spread of cracks caused by high load flexing of the splint, making it the ideal choice for splints used in a heavy work environment.
Handling
Resistance to stretch: Minimum
Stretches easily when heated. Use soft, gentle pressure to form a splint. Be careful not to allow material to stretch too much.
Conformability: Maximum
Easily conforms to surface contours and detail, reducing time to fabricate splint, and provides a precise fit for increased comfort and fewer pressure areas. High degree of drape.
Memory: Minimum
Ability to be reheated and reshaped but will not return to original shape.
Bonding: Coated
Create a temporary bond by pinching together heated material; however, it will come apart when cooled. Form a permanent bond by scrubbing off the coating or removing it with a bond solvent.
Physical
Colors: Assorted
White, beige or blue
Thickness: Assorted
Available in the following sheet thicknesses: 1/8" (3.2 mm), 1/16" (1.6 mm) and 3/32" (2.4 mm).
Perforations : Assorted
Available in 1 percent or solid material.
Appearance: Opaque when heated
Hardened Splint
Rigidity: Moderate/Maximum (49.8 kpsi*)
Retains shape without reinforcement.
Surface: Smooth
Picks up fingerprints and markings if not properly handled.

Key Material Benefits
Polyflex II is the only Rolyan splint that is flexible enough when cooled to directly resist stress fatigue. It will resist the start and spread of cracks caused by high load flexing of the splint, making it the ideal choice for splints used in a heavy work environment. It’s recommended for finger and hand splints, dynamic splints, neck collars, and more.
Ultimate Control and Precise Fit
The Polyflex II Thermoplastic Splinting Material is easily stretched when heated and only requires soft, gentle pressure to form a splint, allowing clinicians to have excellent control. The Rolyan splinting material easily conforms to the surface contours and details, reducing the time spent fabricating the splint. It provides a precise fit for increased comfort with fewer pressure areas. The water-based, non-stick coating prevents accidental bonding until the coating is scrubbed off or removed with a solvent.
Splinting Material Attributes
Rolyan Polyflex II thermoplastic sheets are offered in 1 percent or solid perforation options in white, beige, or blue. The splinting material is available in 1/8" (3.2 mm), 1/16" (1.6 mm), and 3/32" (2.4 mm) sheet thicknesses that are suitable for larger fracture braces or intricate pediatric splints. The hardened splint features a moderate to maximum rigidity of 49.8 kpsi according to the Young’s Modulus testing value.

Rolyan Polyflex II Thermoplastic Splinting Material
Overview
Polyflex II™, offers a balanced combination of high conformability and low resistance to stretch. With an outstanding natural drape — just less than Polyform — and ease of molding, it is an excellent choice for splints that require a precise fit. Polyflex II has a water-based, non-stick coating, which prevents accidental bonding. It can be reheated and reshaped repeatedly, but once it has been stretched, it will not return to its original shape.

Best uses include:
- Thumb splints
- Finger splints
- Hand splints
- Wrist splints
- Elbow splints
- Dynamic splints
- Neck Collars
- Foot drop splints
- Carpal tunnel splints
- Pediatric splints
- Adaptive equipment

- Splints for arthritis
- Knee splints
- Flexor tendon repair splints
Care & Cleaning
Store at temperatures between 40° and 90°F (4° and 32°C) and less than 65 percent relative humidity. Avoid prolonged exposure to light, especially ultraviolet. Avoid exposure to corrosive and ethylene oxide fumes.
Formed splints will lose their shape in temperatures over 135°F(57°C) and should be kept away from sources of heat such as ovens, hot water, and car windows.
Clean splint with soap and lukewarm water. Allow splint and straps to dry thoroughly before reapplication.
Precautions for finished orthoses
Splint adjustments are to be made only by a health care professional, who is responsible for providing wearing instructions and precautions to other practitioners, care providers and the patient. If unusual swelling, skin discoloration or discomfort occurs, discontinue use and consult a health care professional.
