ABSTRACT:
A body part protector assembly for being custom-fitted to a body part, and including a body part protector having at least two connected-together pad segments. Each of the pad segments having an initially flexible protective layer comprised of a fabric impregnated with a moisture-curable resin which hardens upon curing to form a rigid structure which retains a body part-defined shape into which it is molded during curing. Respective removable covers separately cover and enclose each of the at least two connected pad segments, and are individually removable from their respective pad segments to expose the initially flexible protective layer of that pad segment when the body part protector is to be wetted and fitted to the body part for curing into the proper molded shape. The removable covers have moisture transmission-retarding properties for enabling each pad segment to be individually and sequentially fitted to the body part without other pad segments being wetted and cured before fitting of that pad segment is complete. An outer moisture-proof protective pouch is provided within which the body part protector is sealed for storage in the absence of moisture until the pad is to be molded to the body part to be protected.
