<p>A custom mouldable orthopaedic device (1) adapted, in use, to be volumetrically variable, includes a first member (2), adapted to be conformable around a body part comprising a sheet of thermoplastic material e.g. a polycaprolactone polymer, having first (3) and second (4) opposed edge regions and a second member (21) comprising a layer of an extensible material, e.g. a hydrophilic spacer fabric, bonded to one surface of the first member and adapted to form an interposing layer between the first member and the body part when said first member is adapted to conform around said body part, wherein at least a portion of at least one of said edge regions has a thickness less than that of the region (5) intermediate said edge region.</p> |
