Low-Temperature Thermoplastics (LTTP)
Low-Temperature Thermoplastics (LTTP) are innovative materials widely used to create customized patient supports, splints, and braces. They soften at relatively low temperatures (around 60–75°C when placed in warm water). Unlike high-temperature thermoplastics, LTTP materials can be safely molded directly onto the patient’s body after heating, allowing for a perfect fit and comfort during application.
Modern Orthopedic Practice
In today’s orthopedic care, the focus is on comfort, flexibility, and faster recovery.
Traditional rigid methods — such as plaster or hard synthetic casts — often cause stiffness and limit mobility.
Modern “dynamic” treatments, using LTTP materials, allow for controlled movement of the injured area while maintaining proper immobilization.
Because LTTP can be easily applied, removed, and reheated for adjustments, it enables safe and limited movement, which promotes healing, functional recovery, and overall patient comfort.
Our Expertise in Thermoplastics
The demand for advanced orthopedic materials is constantly growing.
At T-Tape Company, we manufacture and develop a range of LTTP products that meet the highest clinical standards.
Our materials are used worldwide in orthopedics, rehabilitation, and physiotherapy practices.
We are also the creators of the Universal Fixation Splint (UFS) system — an ultra-light, pre-molded, cork-based thermoplastic solution that combines innovation, strength, and patient comfort.
This unique approach allows us to offer materials that are clinically precise, durable, and environmentally responsible.
