For casting, immobilization, support and protection of fractures, tissue traumas and joint injuries of the hand wrist and forearm

The FastForm ® - Thermoplastic Wrist Splint is made from a novel thermoplastic material that is waterproof, light yet very strong and rigid for maximum support. Its inner surface is layered with a special fabric that wicks moisture away from the skin. The combination of these high tech materials plus its advanced design ensures that the FastForm ® - Thermoplastic Wrist Splint FastForm is the most advanced orthoses available in the market, thus providing numerous benefits to clinicians, healthcare organizations and maximum comfort for patients.
The innovative FastForm ® - Thermoplastic Wrist Splint is proving superior to alternative methods of immobilization, in particular traditional Plaster of Paris and synthetic resin fibreglass materials.

Simple, secure and easy to apply, the new FastForm® Thermoplastic Wrist Splint ensures maximum comfort and stability even during swimming and showers.
