3M Scotchcast Quick Step Double Sided Felt Roll Splint (2/Case)

The 3M Scotchcast Quick Step Splint is designed for optimal performance using a combination of materials:

• 7-Layer Fiberglass Interior: This core structure is embedded with a water-activated resin system that provides exceptional durability and conformity, reaching full weight-bearing strength in only 20 minutes.
• Double-Sided Breathable Felt: The exterior is covered in felt on both sides, which serves as crucial padding for patient comfort and protection. This design also eliminates the risk of incorrect application and helps keep the patient’s skin dry by shedding water.

Yes, this splint achieves full weight-bearing strength in only 20 minutes. This is a major benefit compared to traditional plaster products, which can require a full day to cure completely.

The 3M Scotchcast Quick Step Double Sided Felt Roll Splint comes in a standard length of 15 feet (4.5 m). It is available in the following versatile roll widths:

• 2 inches (2” x 15’)
• 3 inches (3” x 15’)
• 4 inches (4” x 15’)
• 5 inches (5” x 15’)

Each case of the 3M Scotchcast Quick Step Splint contains two individually boxed rolls.

Key details regarding the quantity and packaging:

• Quantity: You receive 2 boxes per case, with one 15-foot roll in each box.
• Roll Size: Every roll measures 15 feet (4.5 meters) in length.
• Packaging Benefit: The material is supplied in easy-to-reseal packaging. This is crucial as it protects the resin from ambient moisture, preventing premature hardening and ensuring product integrity until use.

Yes, the 3M Scotchcast Quick Step Splint features excellent water-shedding capability designed to enhance patient skin health and comfort.

Unlike traditional splinting products that tend to absorb and hold moisture, this material actively sheds water. This is a significant benefit because it:

• Helps to keep the patient’s skin consistently dry.
• Significantly reduces the risk of skin maceration (softening and breakdown) often caused by prolonged moisture retention beneath the splint.

This feature, combined with the breathable felt padding and low-profile design, contributes to the splint’s overall comfort and durability.

The molding time for the 3M Scotchcast Quick Step Splint is controlled by the water temperature used for activation. The reference temperature used to ensure an optimal working time is 23°C (73°F). Using water at this temperature provides approximately 3 minutes (180 seconds) of molding time. Note that the molding and curing process is adjustable: warmer water will speed up the setting time. The splint achieves full weight-bearing strength in only 20 minutes.

The length of each 3M Scotchcast Quick Step Double Sided Felt Roll Splint is standardized at 15 feet (4.5 meters). This length is consistent across all available widths (2”, 3”, 4”, and 5”).

Yes, the 3M Scotchcast Quick Step Double Sided Felt Roll Splint features easy-to-reseal packaging. This design is crucial for maintaining product integrity and quality by:

• Preventing premature activation of the fiberglass resin.
• Minimizing exposure to environmental moisture.
• Ensuring the roll remains effective until application, which helps reduce waste.

Yes, the 3M Scotchcast Quick Step Splint features easy-to-reseal packaging designed to maintain product integrity.

This feature is crucial because the splint utilizes a water-activated fiberglass resin system. The resealable packaging provides two main benefits:

• It prevents moisture exposure, stopping the resin inside the roll from prematurely hardening.
• It helps reduce waste by ensuring any remaining material stays fresh and ready for immediate use.

Yes, the double-sided felt is a key feature of the 3M Scotchcast Quick Step Splint, engineered to maximize ease of use and patient comfort.

This design provides several distinct benefits:

• Eliminates Application Guesswork: Having breathable felt on both sides removes the risk of incorrect orientation, ensuring the required padding and protection are always applied correctly against the patient’s skin.
• Reduces Maceration Risk: The felt material is water-shedding, unlike traditional absorbent splinting products. This helps keep the patient’s skin dry and reduces the risk of maceration.
• Easy Customization: The felt allows for easy opening on either side, providing quick access to the internal 7-layer fiberglass core for simple trimming and precise adjustments during the molding process.
