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. The ankle splint product includes an outer container formed of moisture-impervious material, moisturefree 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. First and second attachment means secured to ends of the splint segments, releasably attach the splint segments together into an ankle splint, and for form a heel stirrup for stabilising the splint segments on the ankle; and an elasticized strap extends around the splint segments and is fastened to itself in tensioned condition for holding the splint segments in conforming position on the lower leg and ankle and providing controlled compressive support to the lower leg and ankle.
