ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic fabric is disclosed which includes a length of unbroken loop fabric to which is intimately adhered a layer of thermoplastic breathable elastomeric foam without employing stitches or other additional materials. The unbroken loop fabric may be stretchable for use as a support device or non-stretchable for use as an immobilizing device. The thermoplastic foam layer may be cured directly upon the unbroken loop fabric or may be intimately bonded by employing ultrasonic frequency, radio frequency or thermal energy sufficient to melt surface portions of the foam layer causing it to become adhesive.
