Combine the support of a custom-molded thermoplastic splint with the aesthetics and comfort of terry-lined neoprene through our patented adhering process. Choose from one of our stock W-200 and W-300 series thermoplastic splints or add thermoplastic where additional support is desired. When heated in a microwave or with an iron or hydrocollator, Benik's thermoplastic splints and components can be shaped for a custom fit. Thermoplastic supports may be reheated and reformed as needed.
If a patient requires something other than what our stock thermoplastic splints have to offer, custom thermoplastic options may be specified. Thermoplastic can be added to most of Benik's products. Please refer to the pictures below to see the most commonly requested thermoplastic options and refer to the chart below for availability.
To order something not pictured, please provide us with a tracing of the hand, and outline the desired coverage area on both the dorsal and volar sides.

A supinator strap may be used in combination with many of our hand and wrist splints if supination of the affected limb is desired. Inquire about this option and strap lengths involved when ordering.
Benik's thermoplastic 300 Series wrist supports can be molded to provide wrist flexion of 30 degrees from full extension. If a greater degree of flexion is desired, the support can be custom designed to allow the support to be molded to angles of 30 to 60 degrees from full extension. Specify this option when ordering. Contact us to discuss options for angles from full extension of greater than 60 degrees. Pictured here is a W-313 with Volar Pan Extension.
NOTE: Follow Custom Sizing directions and ensure "E" measurement is taken on the dorsal side of the hand.
A nylon strap with a tri-glide fastener can be added. This style of closure is more difficult to remove than standard Velcro® straps once fastened. The tri-glide is most effective on supports with existing fasteners at the wrist. Specify sewn-down or removable when ordering.
Double-locking Velcro® is an alternative to a standard Velcro® closure on our BD-88 and RG-87 items. This is also referred to as sandwich Velcro®. It consists of a double-sided layer of loop Velcro® material sandwiched between two sides of hook Velcro®.
