DEFINITION

Classification: 602/8

By chemically reactive material (e.g., plaster cast):

(under subclass 6) Subject matter comprising an appliance which is pliable at the time of application so that it can be readily conformed to the contours of the body portion, but soon becomes rigid due to an interaction between substances which form or are encased within the appliance, and thus provides an encircling immobilization splint for the body portion which will retain the contours for a substantial segment of the treatment period.
