medi Epico active elbow brace for joint stabilisation
medi Epico active is an elbow brace for reliable physiological guidance of the elbow joint. It consists of soft and breathable material that ensures greater wearing comfort, particularly in the sensitive bend of the elbow. The brace is fitted with lateral stabilising hinge bars that make individual flexion and extension limitation possible.
The soft elbow brace is used for all indications in which physiological guidance of the elbow joint and/or relieve of the joint is necessary. For example:
- Nonsurgical treatment following simple elbow dislocation
- Treatment of medial or lateral elbow instability
- Postoperative treatment of osteochondrosis dissecans
- Postoperative treatment of cartilage replacement therapy
- Postoperative treatment following collateral ligament reconstruction
medi Epico active supports the patient's return to activity. The soft elbow brace protects against damaging varus and valgus forces. At the same time, the individual flexion and extension stops make a therapeutically appropriate mobilisation possible to support the course of healing. Moreover, thanks to the simultaneous stabilisation of the elbow joint, pain on movement can be relieved.
For pleasant wearing comfort, the elbow brace can be easily adapted by the trimmable strap ends and fixed with four hook-and-loop fastenings. Due to the good security of fit and the breathable material, the user can also use the brace during activities and sport. Moreover, the soft breathable material in the sensitive bend of the elbow ensures greater wearing comfort. A further benefit of the medi Epico active is an indicator line in the bend of the elbow, which simplifies the correct positioning of the arm in the brace.
- Polycentric splints safely guide and stabilise the elbow joint.
- Removable wedge set for individual limitation of the flexion/extension (range of motion).
- Limitation of extension and flexion enable personalised mobilisation in line with therapy that supports the healing process.
- Soft, active, breathable material in the sensitive elbow crook area for more comfort.
- Indicator line in the crook of the elbow for correct positioning.
Elbow brace for mobilisation with immobilisation of the proximal radioulnar articulation.
All indications in which a physiological guidance of the elbow joint and / or relief of the joint is necessary, such as:
- Nonsurgical treatment following simple elbow dislocation
- Treatment of medial or lateral elbow instability
- Postoperative treatment of osteochondrosis dissecans
- Postoperative treatment of cartilage replacement therapy
- Postoperative treatment following collateral ligament reconstruction
- Concomitant neurological damage, e.g. ulnar nerve
- Compartment syndrome
