ABSTRACT:
Device for immobilizing a patient's limb. The device comprises an elongated, three-sided, resilient support member of generally U-shaped cross-section, open at the top and comprising a base or bottom wall and a pair of side walls extending upwardly from the base, and fastener means extending from one side wall to the other across the open top of the support member. The support member is preferably made of a closed cell plastic foam material, coated with a thin adherent washable coating. The side walls are preferably perpendicular to the base, defining an opening of rectangular cross-section for receiving a patient's limb or portion thereof. Fastener means may include either a plurality of transversely extending straps (preferably Velcro) or a plastic sheet having means (such as short Velcro strips) which will engage the side walls.
