ABSTRACT:
The article used and the method of forming a support structure, such as an orthopedic cast, comprising interlacing one or more flexible, pliable filaments having a photopolymerizable material enclosed entirely within the interior of the filaments so as to form a pliable fabric article which can be readily conformed to the surface with which it is in contact and exposing the fabric article to a source of wave energy, such as ultra-violet light, which effects polymerization of the material within the filament and transforming the fabric into a rigid structure entirely by means of the mechanical interlock formed between the filaments; thereby forming a rigid support structure without the application of a malodorous, sticky or powdered stiffening or bonding agent to the outer surface of the filaments or fabric.
