Claim 0:
1. An orthopedic impression casting slipper kit for custom molding of a patient's foot comprising:
a. a fabric casting slipper configured for placement over a barrier envelope around the patient's foot and shaped to extend upwardly from the plantar surface of the patient's foot to an open end of the casting slipper proximate to the dorsal surface of the foot, the fabric of the casting slipper being sufficiently resilient to substantially conform to the patient's foot;
b. a quantity of curable resin sufficient to harden the casting slipper into a foot casting;
c. a fabric removal sock configured for placement between the barrier envelope and the foot that expedites sliding removal of the intact hardened casting slipper from the patient's foot, and configured for placement around plantar, dorsal and heel surfaces of a patient's foot and lower extremity and extending upwardly from the plantar surface to an open end of the removal sock on the lower extremity above the dorsal surface of the foot, the fabric of the removal sock having a sufficiently low coefficient of friction between itself and the barrier envelope to minimize vacuum formation between the foot and barrier envelope and facilitate removal of the hardened casting slipper, and being sheer or ultra-sheer with a denier of between 10 and 30, and resilient to substantially conform to the patent's foot; and,
d. the barrier envelope which is configured for mounting over and adjacent to the removal sock, for prevention of adherence of the resin to the removal sock or the patient's foot, the barrier envelope fabricated from a material which is impermeable to resin.
