From nature's mastery to medical marvels, the theme of immobilization unites these diverse images. A broken arm finds solace in a plaster cast and X-ray, while the New Zealand Velvet-worm (Peripatoides novaezealandiae) demonstrates its unique hunting technique, immobilizing cockroach larvae in sticky fluid. In the realm of medicine, a lumbar spine fusion (C016 / 6993) and blood clot (SEM) are immobilizing treatments. Even in the past, a 16th c device for setting broken legs showcases the human ingenuity in immobilizing injuries for healing.
