Claim 19:
20. A method of forming a moldable splint (10), comprising the steps of:
a. forming a liner (50) having at least one wall forming a liner length, liner width, and a liner thickness, a first closed liner end and a second open liner end, forming a partially closed liner volume having one open end,
b. placing the liner (50) within a moldable hollow thermoplastic shell (100) having at least one shell wall having a shell material thickness (150) forming a shell length, shell width, and shell thickness, a first closed shell end and a second open shell end, forming a partially closed shell volume having one open end, such that the liner closed end is adjacent the shell closed end, and the liner open end is adjacent the shell open end,
c. filling the partially closed shell volume to create an at least partially fluid-filled at least biphasically reversible thermoplastic volume (200),
d. closing the liner (50) to fully contain the fluid-filled at least biphasically reversible thermoplastic volume (200),
e. closing the moldable hollow thermoplastic shell (100) to contain the woven liner (50) containing the fluid-filled at least biphasically reversible thermoplastic volume (200), and
f. enclosing the moldable hollow thermoplastic shell (100) in an external cover (300), having at least one wall forming a cover length, width and thickness, a first closed cover end and a second open cover end, and
g. closing the external cover (300) to contain the moldable thermoplastic shell (100), enclosing the liner (50), enclosing the at least partially fluid-filled at least biphasically reversible thermoplastic volume (200).
