Thermoplastic-moulding water bath

A thermoplastic-moulding water bath is an AC‑powered unit that heats water to a controlled temperature for softening thermoplastic sheets used in making body positioning, fixation, splint and orthotic devices. The bath includes a large pan, temperature controls, a thermostat or thermometer, and often a timer, allowing clinicians to heat the material to the specific range required for molding.

These baths are regulated as medical device accessories and must comply with applicable electrical safety and thermal performance standards in each market. They are typically supplied as standalone equipment and are subject to the same national device regulations that apply to other clinical heating devices.
