Well, I just got (another) splint for my wrist, and they used some
thermoplastic that gets very flexible and slightly stretchable for
a time at about 180 F, and then returns to semi-rigidity. I didn't
get the name out of them of the substance, but you could easily do
molding of wrist rests, palm keyboards, etc., out of it.
