Abstract
A splint, used as a support for a broken bone or herniated intervertebral disk so that the bone or disk stays in a particular position while it heals, is disclosed. The splint includes a panel, which is formed of a material capable of being softened at temperatures of about 70.degree.C.-90.degree.C. and has a plurality of bending slits. Due to the slits, the splint is not only appropriately shaped into a configuration agreeable to the contour of an affected part of the body, it is also free of any rumples while being put on the affected part of the body. In the splint, the parts of the panel which will be brought into contact with a patient's skin are lined with sponge and soft cloth suitable to protect the skin and give a soft and delightful sensation to a patient. The panel is covered with an outer cover which allows the splint to be easily put on or removed from the affected part particularly when the splint is put on a person with a herniated disk.
