Abstract
Abstract A protective device for an injured portion of the body is the subject of the present invention. An adhesive strip is provided with a pocket into which is placed a dry plaster material that may be activated upon submersion in water to present a hardenable material which may be conformed to the configuration of an injured portion of the body. The dry plaster material is in the form of one or more plaster splints comprising a loosely woven gauze cloth impregnated with the dry plaster ingredients. A sterile gauze pad covers the dry plaster material so as to preclude direct contact between the plaster and the injured portion of the body.
