ABSTRACT:
A tubular cast assembly for immobilizing a body part includes an undercast protective sleeve for being placed on the body part and a cast tube for being placed on and surrounding the body part over the undercast protective sleeve. The undercast protective sleeve protects the body part against contact with the skin by the cast tube. The cast tube comprises a fabric tube knitted of fiberglass and a size suitable for the body part to be immobilized and a reactive system impregnated into or coated onto the fabric tube. The system remains stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardens upon exposure to sufficient moisture to form a rigid, light-weight self supporting tubular structure. Adjacent edges of the fabric tube along the length of the tube define a narrow weakness zone or zones therebetween to serve as a line along which the tube is severed along the length thereof in preparation for removal.
