Why Thermoplastic

From fixation, to a custom fit

Traditional splinting often requires combining multiple materials. Thermoplastic softens with heat, molds to the pet, and hardens into a stable, adjustable structure.

01

Heat-Formable

Softens at low temperature for safe, direct molding.

02

Custom Moldable

Conforms to each pet's unique limb shape.

03

Rigid After Cooling

Forms a stable support structure once cooled.

04

Re-Moldable

Reheat to adjust as the pet recovers.
