The fabric sheet is, in a first direction, stiff either inherently or as a consequence of rolling the sheet. In a second direction the fabric sheet is rollable. The stiffness of the sheet in the first direction allows to maintain a body part that is partially or fully encircled by the protector/splint to be kept in position. The splint is adjustable by fastener(s) to fit a body part of an individual user, is made of light material, is permeable to air, liquids or gels and can be washed.
