Product benefits
How does it work?/Mode of action
Serves to immobilise the elbow joint by fixation of areas of the upper and lower arm
Movement is limited to 0°-120° in the joint to guarantee movment flexibility. This enhances joint mobility and accelerates healing.
Donning/fitting instructions
Open all the Velcro straps and put the brace on so that its joint lies directly over the lateral epicondyle.
First close the two lower arm belts, then the upper arm belts.
Guide one end of the neck strap through the ring on the arm cuff and fasten the Velcro.
Pass the other end over your shoulder, guide it through the ring on the hand rest, and fasten the Velcro.
The pads can be trimmed to size with scissors if necessary.
Setting the flexion and extension limits
To set the radius of motion, first press the grey button during flexion and simultaneously shift the joint to the desired number of degrees.
Repeat this process for extension.
Flexion limit: 0° - 120°
Extension limit: 0° - 120°
