The support comprises an inner synthetic fibre fabric layer which is impregnated with an evaporative liquid comprising water and alcohol, a flexible protective outer layer 20 and adjustable releasable fastenings 18. In use air is circulated within the layers with the outer layer cushioning the inner layer and the limb or joint from impact. A garment is also described that is formed from an artificial fibre formed with channels on the fibre surface adapted to provide enhanced wicking of fluids (figs 8-10). The garment may be impregnated with an evaporative liquid comprising water and alcohol. The support and the garment may be provided in sealed pouches fully impregnated with the evaporative liquid. Alternatively, they may be provided as a kit comprising the support or garment in an unimpregnated state together with a supply of evaporative liquid for impregnating the support or garment. |
