ABSTRACT:
A tubular support for positioning about a body joint is made of closed-cell neoprene and has an opening with an insert therein of a thinner elastic material to provide breathability and avoid bunching when flexing the joint. The thinner material of the insert is preferably attached to a frame that is then secured in the opening prior to forming the panel into the tubular shape.
