Relating to or made by forming or molding wax, especially for artistic or medical purposes.
From Greek 'keros' (wax) and 'plastikos' (capable of being molded), describing things made through wax-molding techniques.
Ceroplastic models were revolutionary for teaching anatomy—doctors could study realistic wax models of organs before ever seeing a real body, making medical education safer and more effective.
