Embrace diversity with Multifit® NS. Your all-round orthotic fabrication companion.
Multifit NS is user-friendly for the fabrication of all types of orthoses. From a static wrist orthosis to a complex dynamic orthosis: Multifit NS can address all of your fabrication needs across pathologies and across patients while offering maximum ease of use.
Multifit NS Characteristics
Excellent drapability once activated, allowing the material to conform naturally to the limb using gravity. This results in a more comfortable fit, reducing the likelihood of pressure points and discomfort, which in turn improves the patient’s overall compliance with wearing the splint.
High rigidity once set, providing strong, stable support. The patient will feel secure knowing that the splint offers substantial support.
Low resistance to stretch, enabling easy stretching without the need for excessive force. This makes it easier for the clinician to create a precise and comfortable fit, which reduces stress and discomfort for the patient during the splinting process.
High conformability ensures an effortless molding process for clinicians. This results in a precise fit reducing unwanted movement and ensuring more effective immobilization.
Low memory, yet still adaptable by reheating with hot water or a heat gun.
Minimal bonding, preventing accidental sticking during fabrication unless the coating is deliberately removed.
Extended working time offers ample time for precise molding and positioning.
Latex-free, making it safe for individuals with latex allergies.
Recommended applications
Use the Multifit NS 3.2 mm for larger orthoses and patients that require extra support: resting hand orthosis, volar wrist orthosis, elbow orthosis, as a base for outrigger components, and contracture management.
Use Multifit NS 2.4 mm for all hand based and thumb orthoses, and for full forearm based resting hand orthoses for smaller adults or children.
Both thicknesses are excellent as a base for Dynasyst components.
How Multifit NS works and looks
Ideal material for the fabrication of rigid and supportive orthoses. It is an excellent base material for all outrigger and resting hand orthoses.
The perfect balance between rigidity and ease of use in molding. The material holds its shape perfectly against increased tone, and it readily contours to the fingers, hands and wrist using mild to moderate pressure.
The fabricated orthosis will hold its shape when heated for minor adjustments. Small corrections are easy to make after spot-heating the orthosis with a heat gun.
The non-stick coating prevents accidental bonding and allows for molding directly over bandages and cotton linings in post-surgical conditions. The coating allows for temporary bonding during fabrication. Reliable permanent bonding is possible after removing the coating and using dry heat. All attachments and outriggers can be applied with maximum ease.
Prevents cross-contamination between materials in a splinting department and keeps orthoses hygienic for a longer period of time. Orthoses have a longer life cycle.

The radial nerve is the terminal continuation of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus. It contains fibers from nerve roots C5 – T1. From the axilla region, the radial nerve travels down the arm and innervates the triceps muscle. The radial nerve then descends down the arm,…
