Commercial Pelvic Binder, or white cotton percale fixator.

In skilled hands, the difference comes mostly down to cost.   But the commercial binder (breathtakingly expensive for $3 worth of cloth, cord, and velcro) comes with excellent instructions and is thus more difficult to do badly -- which is a big plus when your case saturation is low.

I gave a talk at Memorial many years ago.  Nice town, lovely people.  Hope y'all are mostly picked up since the storms...
