ABSTRACT:
A curable orthopedic support material is disclosed wherein a flexible sheet material is impregnated with a liquid resin system; the resin-impregnated material cures upon exposure to a curing agent into a resilient, semi-rigid support device. In one preferred embodiment, one or more layers of a cushioning material such as foam is associated with the support material. The cured support is especially designed for orthopedic applications where conventional rigid casts are neither necessary not desirable, such as athletic uses.
