The present invention concerns a novel low-temperature thermoplastic wood- biopolymer composite comprised of small wood particles and a polycaprolactone (PCL) homopolymer for use in medical procedures including orthopedic casting or splinting. The material is made from a thermoplastic composite that softens when heated to approximately 60 °C, after which it can be formed directly on the patient. The composite then retains its shape as it cools down. The material is composed of epsilon caprolactone homopolymer reinforced with discontinuous short length wood particles.
La présente invention concerne un nouveau composite bois-biopolymère thermoplastique basse température comprenant de petites particules de bois et un homopolymère de polycaprolactone (PCL), destiné à être utilisé dans des opérations médicales telles que le plâtrage ou la contention orthopédique. Ce matériau est constitué d'un composite thermoplastique qui se ramollit lors d'un chauffage à environ 60°C, et peut alors être formé directement sur le patient. Le composite conserve sa forme lors de son refroidissement. Ledit matériau comprend un homopolymère de caprolactone epsilon renforcé de particules de bois courtes discontinues.
