A post-traumatic immobilization device is produced by a method thereof. The device has an architectural form with a rounded shape, formed by at least two complementary rigid parts (1a, 1b), in the form of a mesh (11). The parts define respective concave cavities and include curved connecting ends (12), and fasteners provided with raised portions (13) for the coupling of elastic O-rings (2) that clamp the rigid parts (1a, 1b) to one another. A method produces the post-traumatic immobilization device.

The splint kit provides a sealed splint, bandaging, and a water source for setting the splint. Different kits may be needed depending upon the size of the user to which the splint will be applied. The kits may also vary according to the body part to be set. The size of each splint is based upon the size of the user and the size of the body part(s) to be splinted to eliminate the need for the user to size the splint. The splint is self-contained in its own packaging to maintain the integrity of the splint. The fiberglass/hardening material is encased by a foam material and/or felt to further simplify the process of applying and setting the splint.

An orthopedic device can be worn by a person having a waist, a shoulder, and an arm including an upper arm and a forearm. The orthopedic device holds the arm of the person in an abducted immobilized position to promote healing. The orthopedic device includes a sling which is shaped and dimensioned to receive the arm of the person, the sling includes a shoulder strap which is positionable over the shoulder of the person. The orthopedic device also includes a belt which is shaped and dimensioned to encircle the waist of the person. An arm support for supporting the person's arm is removably connectable to the belt. The belt includes an arm support connector to which the arm support is removably and fixedly connected so that the arm support projects upwardly from the belt. The arm support is positionable to extend different heights above the belt. The sling is connectable to the arm support so that the arm of the person is abducted.
