An ankle splint product includes an ankle splint for being custom-formed to the shape of an ankle while flexible, and upon hardening providing a rigid, supporting custom fit (100). The ankle splint product includes an outer container formed of moisture-impervious material, moisture- free conditions and sealed therein against entry of moisture until use. Each of the first and second ankle splint (111, 112) segments includes an elongate substrate, and a reactive system impregnated into or coated onto the substrate. The system remains stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardens upon exposure to moisture to form a rigid, self supporting structure. An elongate, flexible protective pad (116) is positioned on one side of the substrate along its length to provide a cushioning barrier between the substrate, and the skin of a patient when the ankle splint (111) is in use.
