<p>A latent resin system coated onto or impregnated into a medical bandage, the resin remaining soft and comformable during exposure to ambient moisture. An activator is provided for reacting with the resin for hardening the resin and the medical bandage. The method includes the steps of providing a medical bandage and coating or impregnating the medical bandage with a resin system that remains soft and comformable during exposure to ambient moisture. A resin activator is provided and is maintained separate from the medical bandage until after application of the medical bandage to the injury site. The resin activator is applied to the medical bandage after application of the medical bandage to the injury site to thereby harden the medical bandage into a rigid cast, or microcapsules within which the activator and/or resin are contained are ruptured to harden the medical bandage into a rigid cast.</p> |
