ABSTRACT:
A body portion to be immobilized is wrapped with appropriate padding. Two flexible barrier members are secured to the padding on diametrically opposite sides of the body portion. Successive layers of gauze impregnated with plaster are applied to a sector of the body portion between the barriers, wetted and allowed to set. Detents in the barrier members are effective to form mating detents in the edges of the rigid shell thus formed. The barriers are then removed while the shell remains in place. The barrier edges of the shell are coated with a release agent. Layers of impregnated gauze are applied to the opposite sector of the body portion between the edges of the first shell, wetted and allowed to set. The detents in the edges of the first shell thereby form corresponding mating detents in the edges of the second shell thus formed. After setting, the shells are secured together by wrapping with an ace bandage webbing or the like.
