A light-weight, semi-rigid, snap-on orthopedic splint having a flexible sheet plastic main body laminated to a thick spongy layer and equipped with long shallow channels for the insertion of flexible reinforcing splints. The edges of the main body are provided with a suitable adjustable fastener as one having a multiplicity of L-shaped ribs which interlock selectively in different overlapped positions as necessary to form a snug fit with a limb or any part of the body and notched crosswise of the ribs to adapt the splint for assembly about a tapering portion of the body as a limb.
