Epicomed® support for soft tissue compression at the elbow with 3D silicone pads
The Epicomed comfort elbow support can reduce pain and swelling at the elbow due to the integrated 3D silicone pads. The removable strap allows an individual pressure adjustment to be made. With its particularly long upper arm, the support fits like a second skin. Epicomed’s broad, flexible border ensures that the connective tissues are reliably covered.
The Epicomed elbow support can be worn when soft tissue compression with profile pads is required at the elbow. This is the case for golfer's elbow (epicondylopathia humeri ulnaris) or tennis elbow (epicondylopathia humeri radialis). In addition, Epicomed provides support in case of osteoarthritis or arthritis of the elbow joint.
Epicomed stabilises the joint and thus ensures long-term relief. Moreover, due to the compressive knitted fabric, the elbow support with pad can improve proprioception and contribute to the guidance and stabilisation of the joint.

The Epicomed comfort elbow support with pads is characterised by its innovative comfort-knit with anatomically correct fit and supple borders: the Comfort Zone thus moulds itself elastically to the arm and increases wearing comfort, also in the sensitive flexor regions. The combination of the soft 3D silicone pad and high-tech and natural eucalyptus fibres is also kind to the skin.
The Epicomed elbow support has the tried and tested Clima Comfort* function. The support is comfortable to wear thanks to the modern fibre technology, which wicks moisture away from the skin’s surface quickly and ensures a high level of breathability. The integrated Clima Fresh function also has an odour-inhibiting effect.
* Scientifically tested by the French Institut IFTH1. The test result shows that Clima Comfort technology from medi guarantees climate exchange between the skin and the garment. medi achieved an outstanding total score with 11 out of 12 points.
