German term or phrase:Unterschenkelbaycastschiene
OP-Bericht:
"Anlage einer Unterschenkelbavcastschiene"

sutured, and the paw was immobilized in flexion
in a Baycast splint. http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:kSDnj4lbHuAJ:www.j...

"With the aid of flexion-extension lateral radiographs, we investigated the effect of the canvas corset, the Raney and Baycast jackets, and the Baycast spica on the segmental sagittal mobility of the lumbosacral spine..." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6224799
It seems to be a Baycast spica, although most references refer to use for stabilising the lumbar spine.
