Abstract
A splint or other body-support device adapted to fit around or along a body portion of a human or animal subject is formed with a closed compartment containing capsules or the like of two mutually reactive substances capable of hardening or foaming in situ to form a hardenable mass stabilizing the shape of the device. The device may comprise an envelope of a flexible material which may be kneaded or deformed to rupture the capsules and mix the reactive substances.
Claims15
A device for the immobilization or support of a body part of a human or animal subject comprising a flexible envelope of double-wall tubing having a pair of fabric walls defining an annular space between them, partitions subdividing said space into compartments spaced around the tubing, two interreactive reaction compounds in each of said compartments, and destructible means holding said reaction compounds apart but adapted to be destroyed by an applied effect to permit mixing of said reaction compounds and setting of the resulting reaction mixture to retain a contour applied to said envelope.
