Abstract
An orthopaedic support assembly is formed of a flexible material impregnated with a hardenable material, e.g. a water-hardenable urethane. The orthopaedic support may include an outer layer of napped material, e.g., an unbroken loop material, that reduces migration of the hardenable material. The orthopaedic support may also include an inner layer of foam padding to increase the comfort of the patient.
