Abstract: The system invention describes a support and improved method of application and removal. The support, comprised of a network of flexible, non-porous, multi-lumen tubing interlaces at a plurality of junctions to form a lattice structure. Apertures designed to accommodate boney prominences also permit air or water to reach the skin underneath and encourage rapid fluid flow internally through the lattice. A hydrophobic, thermal-resistant, flowable padding layer is injected within a secondary lumen to the lattice structure, spanning its complete surface area. As a result, the breathability of the support is not affected by this padding layer because it mirrors the apertures of the lattice. At least one liquid is injected into the structure and configured to transform into a solid when acted on by an external mechanical stimulus.

Abstract: A support for application to a body area. The support has a network of flexible non-porous tubing interlaced at a plurality of junctions to form a lattice structure. The lattice structure includes apertures to allow for the flow of air and water to the body area. At least one liquid is contained within the network of flexible non-porous tubing and is configured to transform into a solid when acted on by an external stimulus. A padding layer is secured to an internal surface defined on the lattice structure. The padding layer further includes apertures corresponding to the lattice structure apertures such that the flow of air and water to the body area is not impeded by the padding layer.
