A bandage for orthopaedic use comprises an elastic, flexible, relatively stiff supporting means (16) made in the shape of a body part to be supported. The supporting means is made of a cross-linked polythene material. In the method for fabricating such a bandage, the polythene material is heated to a predetermined moulding temperature, at which the material has a consistency suitable for moulding, supporting means with the desired shape then being made from the material. |
