The material is made from a 100% cotton mesh that has been impregnated with a non-toxic thermoplastic resin. All reactive substances in the thermoplastic have been cured, which means it does not contain any residues in unreacted form.

X-Lite® Plus is the latest addition to the X-Lite® range. It has a soft polyester fabric surface on one side. 

Plus is almost similar in strength to Classic and can be used to make any cast or splint of your choice. It is made with X-Lite® premium combined with a polyester layer and it is supplied in various widths. Plus is a popular material for occupational therapists for splinting. Plus rolls have no separator and forms easily and quickly, directly on the patient.

 

Environmental & Health Benefits:

X-Lite® has been engineered to benefit the environment and your health in more ways than one. Its unique structure and features make it the ideal alternative to industry-standard casting materials.

  • Non-toxic material:
    The industry-standard synthetic casting tapes contain isocyanates, which can cause negative health effects, such as irritation and asthma. To protect the therapist, special ventilation equipment, an apron, gloves, and a mask are required. However, any toxic instances are extracted from the manufacturing process for all X-Lite® materials, making them 100% free from isocyanates and fibreglass.
  • Less waste:
    Due to the robust nature of X-Lite®, you are able to reheat it any number of times, therefore allowing the therapist to use all of the material without having to waste any. This is especially impressive when compared to the standard market material which isn’t reusable, causing a lot of waste.
  • Ideal material:
    The cotton resin and reactive impregnation means that there is no risk for the patient or therapist. Less material is required requiring only two layers therefore less material will be used. It is patient-friendly, economical and safe for your health and the environment.

 

Features:

  • Includes soft polyester fabric surface
  • Make any cast or splint of your choice.
  • Plus rolls have no separator and forms easily and quickly, directly on the patient.
  • Soft polyester fabric surface on one side

 

X-Lite Innovative Material Features:

  • Biodegradable
    A recent test of biodegradability according to ISO 148551-1 standard, showed that X-Lite® is 25% biodegraded after 90 days.
  • 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 fewer 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.

 

Instructions for use:

  • X-Lite® should be heated in a splint bath set at 68-70°C.

  • Heat 3D-LiteTM in an oven set at 80° C or an infrared oven at 60° C for 1.5 min. You can also use a heat gun for smaller pieces.

  • X-Lite® sheets should be immersed in water for approximately 1 minute and the rolls for approximately 3 minutes. Make sure the water penetrates the rolls.

  • Always ensure that the material is properly heated before you start working.

  • Use tongs to remove X-Lite® from the water bath to avoid direct contact with the water.

  • Allow excess water to drain from the material. The material itself will not become warm.

  • Protect and cover any wounds or scarring with appropriate dressings.  For fracture casting or splinting apply stockinette and proceed with undercover padding to protect the skin before applying the material.

  • Spot heat areas on the splint for the permanent bond of accessories, straps and hook.

  • Re-shape any number of times for the same patient. Reheat unused leftovers and rolls.

  • Make small changes by spot-heating a completed cast or splint with a regular hairdryer. Always keep your own hand close to the area you heat to avoid burning the patient.

  • Cool the splint or cast with cold packs or ice spray for faster setting.
