title: Everyday use of plastic.
abstract: There are several well-known methods of making plastic appliances; but the search here was for a simple quick way of producing something in a physiotherapy department, which could be used the same day as part of the treatment. For this reason plastics mixed from powder were eliminated, as problems with fumes, dermatitis, and curing time seemed to demand special premises and skill. Sheet plastics only were used. Nor was it intended to make a durable appliance which would last a lifetime but rather something cheap which could be frequently changed or adjusted during the recovery period.
