The collar 14, 24, 34 is located on the spine 12 and is adapted to exert pressure on the limb, capable of being applied and adjusted by a clinician. A skin/splint interface pad 14e is also provided that allows liquid and vapour phase water to escape from the skin. Preferably the pad 14e comprises a small mesh textile outer component and a larger mesh substrate. The textile may be on a moulded support that has vents for escaping water. Preferably the pad has an edge region that is curved in profile. The device may be used with a base unit. |
