SKIN COMFORT – ADVANCED VENTILATIONt

Perforated & Breathable Medical Foam

Our innermost layer features a precision-perforated medical foam designed to optimize skin microclimate during long-term wear. This breathable structure allows for continuous airflow, effectively wicking away moisture and heat to prevent skin irritation. The hypoallergenic, soft construction ensures maximum patient comfort and hygiene, even during multiple daily showers. 

Memory Metal – Adaptive Support

Dynamic Stabilization with Memory Metal

Our core utilizes high-precision memory metal that dynamically adapts to thoracic movements, ensuring consistent stabilization and reducing micromotion at fracture sites. This innovative technology provides lightweight, durable support, facilitating rapid patient recovery.

SECURE FIXATION – DURABLE PROTECTION

PU Film Layer & Acrylic Adhesive

The outermost layer consists of a high-performance PU (Polyurethane) film coated with a medical-grade acrylic adhesive. This combination ensures that the splint remains securely in place even during active movement. The film acts as a semi-permeable barrier: it is waterproof, allowing for daily showers, yet breathable enough to let moisture escape. The skin-friendly acrylic adhesive provides strong initial tack and long-term adhesion without leaving residues or causing irritation upon removal.
