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. 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 is avalible in five colours and 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. It is provided in both rolls, sheets and dispensers. Plus rolls have no separator and forms easily and quickly, directly on the patient.

Innovative X-Lite® 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 less layers of material for equal strength compared to other splinting and casting materials on the market.
