Patient positioning thermoplastic mould materials are reusable sheets or mesh forms designed to create custom body moulds for precise patient immobilization. When heated and shaped around a patient’s anatomy, they harden into a rigid cast that supports stable positioning during medical imaging, surgery, or therapy by securing the body part in place.
These materials are typically supplied as pre-coated sheets or meshes and are regulated as single-use devices after moulding, though the raw material itself may be reusable before shaping. They are often integrated into larger patient positioning systems or immobilization devices, ensuring compliance with safety and performance standards for clinical use.
