The present invention relates to a method for producing a thermoplastic material, wherein a thermoplastic base material is chosen which is admixed with at least one filler in the form of microspheres to obtain a foamed thermoplastic material having specific mechanical strength and flexibility, the obtained mixture being subjected to at least one further processing step, in particular extrusion. The invention also relates to a thermoplastic immobilization element for immobilization of a part of the body, which comprises a layer made from an intermediate produced by means of said method for (para)medical applications, orthopaedics, rehabilitation, for the purpose of supporting, replacing or fixating a part of the body, in radiotherapy and radiology and as an armouring protecting element in sport and the like. |
