Project Description:
It’s a self-heating, moldable cast made from a blend of thermoplastic polyurethane and polycaprolactone. With just pull a tab, our integrated magnesium-oxide reaction heats water pouches, which consequently heats the thermoplastic layer to a malleable form. In under 10 minutes, medics can mold TACFORM directly to the limb requiring no external technology or long times to set. When hardened, it is stronger than traditional casts. Our design is also waterproof, breathable, and makes kits easily portable to desired locations.
