ABSTRACT:
An improved composite material (10) adapted for shaping to assume a desired concavo-convex configuration is provided which includes a generally flat sheet (12) of mesh-type synthetic resin (e.g., polycaprolactone) material with a layer (14) of perforate, resiliently stretchable material secured to one face of the sheet (12) by adhesive (16). The composite (10) can be warmed and used to form a concavo-convex, body part-immobilizing sling (10a). A composite (110) is also provided having a layer (114) with imperforate marginal regions (119) overlapping corresponding edges of a synthetic resin sheet (112); the margins (119) facilitate molding of the composite (110) and allow use of cantilever support legs (130).
