An orthopedic cast or splint is provided from a unitary, preformed sleeve of flexible material. At least a portion of the sleeve is impregnated with a hardenable material. The preformed sleeve has at least one circumferentially enclosed opening for receiving and conforming to a selected body portion of a human or animal. The impregnated portion of the sleeve has sufficient structural rigidity upon hardening of the hardenable material so that the impregnated portion is capable of substantially immobilizing the body portion when the sleeve is positioned thereon.
