Abstract
Semi-rigid bandages disclosed herein include a bandage structure layer with an embedded resin material. The resin material is formulated to cure when exposed to an activator such as air or water. Upon curing, the bandage hardens to a semi-rigid state that is harder and more rigid than conventional bandage materials found in household first-aid kits, yet less rigid than fiberglass-based orthopedic casts.
