BraceAbility Posterior Long Arm Splint - Elbow Immobilizer Right or Left Forearm Brace with Support Sling for Fractures, Post-Surgery Recovery, Tendonitis, Bursitis, Ulnar Nerve Pain Relief (L)

There are hundreds if not thousands of wrist splints on the market but very few long arm splints that can immobilize wrist and elbow. This one does the job quite well, whether you have an elbow condition or a wrist condition that is aggravated by elbow movement/wrist rotation.The only minor quibble is that the neck strap for the sling is was sewn in, which leaves you with the issue of where to put the strap if you aren't using it. I generally didn't want it over my neck, so I ended up cutting the strap off underneath. I left the loop, and I can still thread the strap through there if I want to use it as a sling, but why not just make it that way.That minor fix aside, this does exactly what I was hoping for. It basically functions as a removable long arm cast, avoiding the drawbacks of a hard fiberglass cast. Also, I've found that stockinette between this and your skin can improve the comfort, but it's not absolutely necessary. All in all, excellent quality splint with few competing products.

Has very rigid metal ribs that hold it in the L shape so I didn't need the neck strap. Used it during sleep to protect my tennis elbow injury. Velcro straps are strong. I did cut the section between the thumb and forefinger out so I could use my hand for better gripping water glass.

No es lo que yo necesitaba. Pero esta muy protector.

I bought this to wear as opposed to paying the 400 that my insurance wouldn't cover for a splint after cubital tunnel surgery. Because I needed both elbows fixed, I thought this would be perfect since it's universal. Nope!!1. It never came with the neck strap. I'm not sure if I would've used this or not, but the fact it should've been there and wasn't, automatically takes off a star. Some reviews say it wasn't padded which means it probably wasn't very comfortable, but I'll never know.2. The Velcro system is garbage. Who puts super narrow Velcro on a brace designed for someone with arm, hand or elbow problems? I found it nearly impossible to line the Velcro up to perfectly fit in the fasteners and then tighten it on my own. I tried multiple times and had to get help every time. The Velcro should be wider and much more heavy duty and the slots it fits in to for tightening and support need to be in better spots so a person can reach them on their own without needing two people every time.3. The size! I measured my arms. I had my husband measure my arms a second time just to be safe. This thing is just simply weirdly sized. If I were to have bought the one the didn't go almost too my fingertips, it wouldn't have fit my bicep, but vice versa, since I did buy the one to fit my bicep, this almost covered my fingers completely. I went this route because I knew I'd have swelling in and around my elbow after surgery so I didn't dare go with the smaller size. What a pain this was trying to wear for those couple of days.4. The pain. Because of surgery swelling this thing was painful to wear. There are 3 metal supports in it. All the are L shaped with 2 running from bicep down your forearm and the other under your elbow and down that way. Any attempt at movement meant these metal rods were rubbing my surgery wounds. 21 stitches for the cubital tunnel surgery and 12 for tennis elbow surgery. It didn't matter how we tried padding or adjusting, this was awful.With all this said, I tried for about a week before sending it back. I couldn't find a comfortable way to wear it and I have yet to do the other elbow so I don't want to wait beyond my return window. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.

We bought two of these for my daughter to use in place of a hard cast. She had a clean break at the wrist. This bracelet completely imbolized the lower arm and wrist. She was able to shower normally and we changed them out regularly to wash. So much nicer than a smelly hard cast.
