Thermoplastic Splinting Technology

How a flat thermoplastic sheet becomes a custom, stable support for each pet.

The Process

From Flat Sheet to Custom Support

Low-temperature thermoplastic softens when heated, allowing it to be molded directly to the pet's limb. As it cools, the material hardens into a rigid support structure. The process is repeatable — reheat to adjust the fit as the pet recovers.

Why thermoplastic?

  • Low activation temperature — safe for direct molding
  • Conforms precisely to individual anatomy
  • Rigid and stable after cooling
  • Re-moldable for adjustments over time
  • Lightweight and low-profile
