Thermoplastic splint:

A splint constructed from a lightweight and precisely mouldable heat sensitive plastic. Generally this Is made to form both a front and a back section, which fit reversibly together. This allows easy access to the limb and can be self removed if need be. The back section alone can be used to rest the limb in, for example at night.
