Mayo Clinic Elbow Brace with Arm Sling - Black - Left
by Aircast
The Mayo Clinic Elbow Brace Features:
Using the Mayo Clinic Elbow Brace:
The brace is used immediately after surgery to protect and immobilize the elbow joint. In the immediate post injury or post surgical period, the brace may be used to comfortably immobilize the elbow due to the effectiveness of the aircell strapping systems.
For static stretch, the control knob is set to the desired degree of flexion/extension. Once the arm muscles have stretched to the designated degree, the muscles can relax minimizing the inflammatory response that can occur in dynamic stretching.
In addition, the control knob can be unlocked allowing for free range-of-motion (ROM). This unique feature enables the patient to have the benefits of stability and protection while promoting elbow movement to prevent or treat contractures.
The Mayo Clinic Elbow Brace also controls ROM through the use of metal stops located in the adjustable hinge. These stops, inserted into the hinge by the medical professional, ensure that the patient does not exceed predetermined safe limits of ROM.
- Lock/unlock mechanism enables a rapid switch between immobilization, static stretch, and free ROM
- Calibrated control knob is easy to read and assists in monitoring therapy progress
- Repositionable hinge stops control ROM
- Universal design can be applied to right or left arm
- Size adjustment feature accommodates varying humeral/radial circumferences
- Includes Arm Sling for patient comfort
- Optional ARC ™ Forearm Rotational Brace controls pronation/supination (sold separately)
