The invention is a disposable liner for an AFO/contracture foot splint that is sufficiently soft and flexible so as to comfortably conform to body surfaces and provide a substantially close fit to prevent leakage. The liner has a fluid permeable layer, an absorbent layer, and a moisture-proof layer which is a liquid impervious back sheet disposed on the outer surface of the liner. The liner has a toe end, a foot region, a leg end, a leg region and a heel region. The foot region has winged extensions terminated with fastening elements for securing the foot region. The leg end of the liner has tabular extensions terminated with re-closable fastening elements for securing the leg region of the disposable liner to the leg. The heel region of the liner has an opening, which enables a portion of the wearer's heel to project through the heel region into heel "well" of a splint. The absorbent material in the absorbent layer may include an antimicrobial, as well as the nominal absorbents, such as cellulose and superabsorbents.
