ABSTRACT:
Patients' limb immobilizers for stabilizing fractured or broken limbs, which may be enclosed in casts, are structured to eliminate rolling movement of the limb, to promote comfort and healing. Laterally extending support bases resting on a bed or other underlying support surface are provided with a pair of upwardly-extending limb-embracing elements, which are adjustable to provide close embrace of the patient's limb. The elements may be rigid or flexible; they are releasably clamped on the patient's limb for optimum immobilization.
