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
Adjustable After Fitting
A gentle reheat allows minor adjustments as the pet recovers.
