Low-temperature thermoplastic has been commonly used in the fabrication of hand splints. However, its high cost and limited accessibility pose challenges for both clinicians and clients. There is a need for innovative and cost-effective splinting materials that are convenient to use. This study aimed to investigate the satisfaction and opinions of patients regarding a newly developed low-cost thermoplastic material.
