an elongated cuff comprising a semi-rigid sheet and associated pad, and configured to wrap and surround a bicep area of the patient to immobilize bones of the humeral bone fracture, the elongated cuff being more rigid in a height direction transverse to its length;
trim indicators on at least one edge of the elongated cuff configured to indicate trimmable areas for adjusting dimensions of the elongated cuff;
a plurality of straps anchored on an outside of the elongated cuff;
a plurality of strap loops anchored on the outside of the elongated cuff and configured to receive one of the straps therethrough to tighten the elongated cuff when wrapped around the bicep area of the patient;
a first bolster configured to removably attach to an inside of the elongated cuff at a top base position adjacent a top end of the humeral bone fracture when the elongated cuff is wrapped around the bicep area of the patient;
a second bolster configured to removably attach to the inside of the elongated cuff at a bottom base position adjacent a bottom end of the humeral bone fracture when the elongated cuff is wrapped around the bicep area of the patient;
