X-Lite: Eco-Friendly Splinting Materials

X-Lite® is an airy and lightweight Low Temperature Thermoplastic material engineered to meet your splinting, bracing and casting demands. The material is made from a 100% cotton mesh that has been impregnated with a non-toxic thermoplastic resin.

---- X-Lite provides a solution to plastic waste in multiple ways, including its durability allowing you to reheat the material any number of times, meaning every bit of material is used. There’s no waste with X-Lite offcuts as these can be used to edge your splint! Less waste and less material to store as you can double layer X-Lite to vary the thickness of the material, rather than storing multiple thicknesses.

Biodegradable:
A recent test of biodegradability according to ISO 148551-1 standard, showed that X-Lite® is 24.3% biodegraded after 90 days.
Lightweight:
Tested against typical splinting material it is half the weight of traditional plastics!
Lightweight and comfortable for the patient
Excellent Ventilation:
The open structure in the material gives great ventilation and comfort. This allows the skin to breathe, besides providing an optimal environment for wound healing.
Strong Material, Less Plastic
X-Lite® is an extremely strong material. Use significantly less layers of material for equal strength compared to other splinting and casting materials on the market.
Variable Rigidity:
Add layers for additional rigidity without compromising the low profile. Add strips to areas where additional reinforcement or support is desired.
Reusable and remouldable:
Save money and time. X-Lite® can be reheated an unlimited amount of times, allowing you to reuse rolls and leftovers. Make small changes on an already made cast/splint instead of a new one costing extra money, extra time and discomfort for your patient.
