Össur Formfit® Pro Elbow Compression Sleeve

WHAT IS THE FORMFIT PRO ELBOW?

The Formfit® Pro Elbow from Össur is a lightweight, compression sleeve for people with elbow pain, whether following a trip or fall resulting in inflammation and bruising or following diagnosis of a medial (golfers elbow) or lateral (tennis elbow) epicondylitis.

Manufactured from 3D knit material it ensures that as well as being highly compressive it is also breathable to minimise sweat build up when active, as well as ensuring longevity with the sleeve maintaining its shape over time.

WHEN SHOULD IT BE USED?

An elbow compression sleeve should be used to manage conditions of the elbow where inflammation is widespread, rather than in a specific region where a tennis elbow band could be used. The nature of the device ensures that the compression is applied equally from the top of the forearm to the mid point of the bicep.

Following injury to the elbow joint a brace can offer a host of benefits, including:

• Pain management: swelling is the source of the pain which also compromises movements. It is the application of compression which can help on both fronts.
• Mobility improvement: following injury you should rest, but this isn’t always possible and the elbow joint is crucial for most activities, therefore the use of a sleeve can help you remain mobile for longer

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The 3D knit material offers a number of benefits:

• Breathability
• Compression
• Maintains its shape (despite repeated use) i.e. it won’t stretch and become too big.

It is also thinner than other materials without compromising on the level of compression, ensuring it remains more comfortable when being worn for long periods of time.

HOW DO I KNOW IF THIS IS THE RIGHT ONE FOR ME?

Selecting the correct size is always important with any bracing product, especially here to ensure that the sleeve stays in place when mobile and doesn’t slip. Prior to selecting a size please ensure that you have measured the circumference of the elbow.

• 3D MotionTech™ for compression and dynamic fit
• Epicondyle SmartPads™ for targeted support and cushioning
• Patented FoldLock™ system for easier and more secure application
• RadialStrap™ for increased compression and support

Please note: circumference of the elbow is required in order to select the correct compression sleeve.
