Description

X-Lite Classic Natural

X-Lite Classic Natural is the same material as X-Lite Classic with the same great properties, except with manufacturing processes removed. The cotton is usually bleached to white – we have taken it into our hands to remove this part of the process with the environment in mind. We have also removed the colour agent that is added in the original process. Removing these processes does not affect the way the material handles, so you can rest assured in choosing X-Lite Classic Natural.

Extra strong material with excellent ventilation

• Original material

Innovative X-Lite material features

Biodegradable

  • A recent test of biodegradability 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. 

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, alowing 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.

X-Lite Classic Natural has been engineered with the environment in mind, further removing manufacturing processes such as bleaching and washing, to enhance its environmental credentials.

Non-toxic material:

For the industry standard synthetic casting tapes, the isocyanates have negative effects on your health such as irritation and asthma, requiring special ventilation equipment, apron, gloves and a mask in order to protect the therapist. In the manufacturing process for all X-Lite® materials, any toxic instances are extracted, making it 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, economic and safer for health and the environment.
