ABSTRACT:
An improved orthopedic support device for body portions employs a pliable wrap which encircles the body portion and which has a pocket which receives a thermo-formable bracing element. A pocket-forming panel is secured only partially to the wrap for allowing the wrap to stretch more readily to mold with contours of the body portion. The invention further includes a process for fitting the device to a body portion with quick closure of the pocket for enhanced safety and for rapid molding of the bracing element to body contours.
