Abstract

A reinforced sleeve (20) including a carrier (22) with a bracket (30) and a reinforcing medium supported by the carrier (22). The carrier (22) is an elongated polymer member, and the reinforcing medium extends along at least a portion of the length of the carrier (22). The reinforcing medium is preferably an epoxy-based resin. More particularly, the reinforcing medium is preferably a heat-activated structural foam (24).
