All in One
Cast • Splint • Brace
FastForm® provides a custom-molded fit that is lightweight and water friendly.
The Benefits of FastForm
Moldability
PolyTrexX polymer is custom moldable, strong, lightweight and can be re-molded.
Breathable and Water-Friendly
The integrated DermaWick liner wicks moisture away from the skin, keeping the limb dry and increasing comfort with reduced itch and odor. Patients are able to shower and swim while wearing the orthosis.
Volumetric Adjustability
Circumferential strap design allows compensation for swelling or muscle atrophy throughout the healing process.
Ease of Removal
FastForm can be removed without the patient having to move the injured arm. No cast saw is required.
Compliance-Minded
Compliance lock strap deters unauthorized removal.
Radiolucent
FastForm does not need to be removed for X-rays.
Rehabilitation Use
An integrated hinge allows FastForm products to be converted into a rehab splint that can be reapplied for continued support.
SKU Management
Flat-packed, single piece medical product. Two sizes satisfy the typical patient population.

The FastForm Technology
FastForm’s patented technology is based on two key components:
PolyTrexX® Polymer
A highly conformable, biodegradable smart polymer system.
DermaWick® Liner
An integrated fabric liner that wicks moisture away from the skin.
How Does it work?
HOW DOES POLYTREXX® WORK?
The PolyTrexX® material is pre-formed into a rigid flat substrate that has multiple geometric shapes, thicknesses, profiles and diamond shaped apertures.
Not only do the diamond shaped apertures make the product’s surface highly aerated, they also impart significant strength properties in different directions when formed into a solid orthosis.
An intelligent design means that the cast is more rigid in alignment to the underlying bone/limb while less rigid across the direction of the bone/limb. This design is ideal for fracture treatment as the diamond configuration ensures maximum stability, support and stabilization.
Due to the fact that PolyTrexX® has no memory, the clinician can, if required, exert focal compression to a specific area when applying the product to the patient.
HOW DOES DERMAWICK® WORK?
Working in conjunction with the open matrix design of the PolyTrexX® polymer, moisture is wicked away from the skin and simply evaporated away. Arguably, the greatest benefit of this feature is that it allows the patient to shower and swim as normal, if prescribed by their clinician. Historically with other orthoses, as little or no skin is exposed to the air, exposure to water results in clammy, hot and uncomfortable casts that quickly lead to bad odors and itchy and macerated skin. Due to our cutting edge Dermawick® liner and aerated design, this problem is mitigated in FastForm®’s range of orthoses.
The use of our revolutionary patented technology results in significant benefits for both clinician and patient alike and represent a truly significant advancement in the management of orthopedic trauma.
