Brace for epicondylitis treatment Epi-Med 48001

Epi-med° is an Epicondylitis clasp. The orthosis may only be used for elbow treatment. This product requires qualified and individual adaptation to the patient by specialist staff. 

How it works

The Epi-med° epicondylitis clasp compresses the forearm musculature below the elbow, thus bringing mechanical relief to the tendon attachments at the epicondyle (bone projection) and relieving the extensor and flexor musculature. This biomechanical adjustment of the areas under strain in the elbow leads to a noticeable improvement, frequently to complete relief from pain. 

Indications

• Tendinopathy (inflammation of the tendon attachments) in the elbow 

• Medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow) 

• Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) 

Contraindications

Large skin lesions or diseases, extended hematomas or severe swelling.
