A knee support is a medical device used to provide additional support to the knee after an injury. It works by applying compression to the knee and surrounding muscles to help reduce swelling and speed up the healing process. To create a wrap, cut a long piece of elastic from a foam or neoprene sleeve. Use a tape measure to mark where the ends of your knee support will meet and secure it with medical tape. Fold the ends over so they form a tube and press down to secure them.
