U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Luis Diaz, left, Medical Education and Training Campus Occupational Therapy Assistant course instructor assigned to the 264th Medical Battalion, watches his student, Pfc. Makysha Warrell, mold a custom splint to his hand at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston on June 16, 2026. This section of the course teaches students to soften thermoplastic in a water bath at approximately 140°F to 160°F, then mold it directly to the patient's anatomical landmarks. These custom splints support tissue healing and joint rehabilitation. (U.S. Air Force photo by Melissa Hydrick)
