ABSTRACT:
An improved orthopaedic support (10) is provided in the form of an elongated, open-ended tubular body (12) having a continuous sidewall (13), with the latter presenting a recessed region (18) intermediate the ends (14, 16) for anatomically conforming with a limb joint such as a knee. The sidewall (13) is entirely free of transverse dart-defining seams at the recessed region (18). In preferred forms, the body (12) is fabricated with only a single seam (26) extending the length thereof. The body (12) is formed from fabric-faced closed cell neoprene rubber synthetic resin material, and the seam (26) is adhesively formed and covered with heat-applied seam tape (28, 30).
