20140188021 | Orthopaedic splinting system - A composite material in the form of a linear structure having a width, a length and a thickness, comprising a composite material with a first component formed by a polymer and a second component formed by a reinforcing material, wherein the first component comprises a thermoplastic polymer selected from the group of biodegradable polymers and mixtures thereof, and the second component comprises a woody material derived from platy or granular wood particles. The composite material being formable at a temperature of about 50 to 70° C. and it can be used as a blank for an orthopedic splint. | 07-03-2014 |
20130172795 | Bandaging material - A bandaging material in the form of a linear structure. The material comprises a first layer formed by a composite containing a thermoplastic polymer selected from the group of polymers and mixtures thereof, and a woody material derived from platy or granular wood particles having a minimum average size in one dimension of 0.1 mm. The material further comprises a second layer of a textile material having a first and a second surface. The first layer is superposed on said second layer in such a way that said first layer is essentially attached only to the first surface of said second layer. In this way, a bandaging material is obtained which has a suitably small self-adhesion which allows for it being coiled to a roll without force during manufacturing process. The bandaging material can further be uncoiled smoothly by hand followed by subsequent applying of it around limb at application temperature without delamination. | 07-04-2013 |
20120090759 | Method of producing composite materials - The invention relates to a method for making light-weight dimensionally stable wood-thermoplastic composite material composed of wood chips and a thermoplastic polycaprolactone. The manufacturing process of composite material comprising the steps of compounding virgin materials with single-screw extruder and production of uniform homogeneous plate-like composite with calendering apparatus. The calendering process comprises of several cycles, folding, cooling and reheating steps. During the gentle manufacturing process fragile wood chips maintain their 3-D structural properties in polymer matrix resulting light, mechanically strong wood-plastic composite. | 04-19-2012 |
20120073584 | Orthopaedic splinting system - A composite material in the form of a linear structure having a width, a length and a thickness, comprising a composite material with a first component formed by a polymer and a second component formed by a reinforcing material, wherein the first component comprises a thermoplastic polymer selected from the group of biodegradable polymers and mixtures thereof, and the second component comprises a woody material derived from platy or granular wood particles. The composite material being formable at a temperature of about 50 to 70° C. and it can be used as a blank for an orthopedic splint. | 03-29-2012 |
20120071590 | Novel composite materials comprising a thermoplastic matrix polymer and wood particles - 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. | 03-22-2012 |
