The system invention describes a support and improved method of application and removal. The support, comprised of a network of flexible, non-porous, multi-lumen tubing interlaces at a plurality of junctions to form a lattice structure. Apertures designed to accommodate boney prominences also permit air or water to reach the skin underneath and encourage rapid fluid flow internally through the lattice. A hydrophobic, thermal-resistant, flowable padding layer is injected within a secondary lumen to the lattice structure, spanning its complete surface area. As a result, the breathability of the support is not affected by this padding layer because it mirrors the apertures of the lattice. At least one liquid is injected into the structure and configured to transform into a solid when acted on by an external mechanical stimulus.

A medical fixing brace, which is characterized in that it is a mesh-shaped plate provided with several large ventilation openings and injection molded from a shape memory material. On both the front and rear surfaces of each side of the mesh plate in proximity to the transverse edges, several mounting holes used for connecting an engaging fitting apparatus are provided symmetrically along the plate-shape structure, or several mounting holes for connecting an engaging fitting are provided on at least one surface. The thickness of the mesh-shaped plate are thinned at the mounting holes; and, provided within the mounting holes are some parts for mounting the engaging fitting apparatus. The fixing brace has no coating layer, allows with the large hole structure thereof the direct viewing of condition changes, and prevents the occurrence of post-traumatic complications; clamping tightness can be adjusted throughout a treatment, compression on soft tissues is maintained, and fixing effects are great; the fixing brace can be used on either the left or right, operation is simple for a physician. The material used for the fixing brace is nonabsorbent and has no padding structure, dries quickly after shower, provides great comfort, prevents the occurrence of itchiness and dermatitis. This is applicable in externally fixing body parts such as the upper limb, the neck, the chest, the waist, and the lower limb.

A method and device are shown for use in casting for Total Contact Casting for offloading pressure in neuropathic and diabetic wounds or fractures of the appendages such as the human leg or foot. The outer casting material used can be comprised of traditional casting materials. A total foot protection pad underlies the traditional casting materials. It is a one piece moldable system that encompasses the total foot from the Achilles along the lateral and medial foot, covering the plantar surface, the malleoli and folds and extends over the dorsum. The one piece system has adhesive backing on a contact side to facilitate its application and/or forms a total foot protection pad beneath the outer hardened casting material.
