ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a sling-like swathe of flexible material capable of being wrapped around the body of the wearer. The invention includes a first looped end opposite a free end. The looped end accommodates an appendage such as an arm, wrist, hand or the like and the remaining length of the invention is configured to enable the wearer to wrap the invention around his body and effectively immobilize the appendage placed in the looped end by constraining the movement of the appendage against the body of the wearer. The preferred material of the present invention is a tricot-backed, brushed nylon laminate and incorporates hook and loop material spaced at various locations to enable cooperating fixation with a side of the flexible material.
