A composite moldable splint and method for using the same is described. In some embodiments, the splint has at least a partially fluid-filled inner volume, which in some embodiments may include foam, rubber, water, or pelletized material, enclosed by a flexible liner, surrounded by a thermoplastic layer that is flexible and moldable when heated. The inner volume, which may include a thermoactive adhesive having differing viscosity characteristics at a plurality of temperatures, provides the ability to mold the cushion into a wide range of shapes and contours, such as when forming around a body part. The thermoplastic layer provides the ability of the cushion to be molded when heated, while the inner volume tends to maintain a shape, and allows the thermoplastic layer to stay in its formed shape as the cushion cools. The cushion may be used in a range of medical applications for stabilizing patients and body parts.
