Stabilization of the elbow joint with a bandage

The catalog of our online medical equipment store MED1 presents high-quality and reliable bandages for various parts of the body, including an elbow bandage, which you can buy at an affordable price. 

The elbow joint is a complex connection of three bones: the humerus, ulna, and radius. Thanks to the elbow joint, our hand has a wide range of arm movements: flexion, extension, rotation. Due to its structure and active involvement in everyday activities, the elbow joint is vulnerable to injuries, overloads, and degenerative changes. That is why sometimes there is a need to use special support devices, such as an elbow bandage or elbow joint orthosis.

What function do elbow bandages perform?

Elbow bandages are orthopedic products designed to support, stabilize and protect the elbow. They are used both for preventive purposes and for the treatment of various pathologies: epicondylitis, arthritis, arthrosis, for postoperative or post-traumatic recovery.

Sometimes it makes sense to use a supporting arm bandage, when the product covers the elbow area, but at the same time provides support to the entire arm.

Main functions of bandages:

• Fixation: limiting excessive joint mobility, which prevents exacerbation of inflammatory processes.
• Stabilization: reducing the load on ligaments and muscles during activity.
• Compression: improving blood circulation, reducing swelling and pain.
• Protection: prevention of repeated injuries, especially during rehabilitation.

If you have been diagnosed with an elbow joint disease or you feel discomfort during movements, you should buy an elbow bandage that your doctor will recommend.

Elbow bandages for athletes

An active lifestyle, sports that actively involve the hands, in particular tennis, golf, wrestling or weightlifting, significantly increase the load on the elbow joint. That is why elbow braces have become particularly popular among professional athletes and amateurs.

Sports elbow braces perform a number of functions that will be extremely useful for athletes:

• reduce the risk of injury during training and competitions;
• help prevent the development of conditions such as "tennis elbow" or "golfer's elbow";
• improve control over arm movements without limiting its functionality;
• reduce muscle fatigue.

It is especially important for athletes to buy an elbow brace that combines comfort, breathable materials, and reliable fixation. On our MED1 website you will find exactly such models, which are made of high-quality materials and at an affordable price. 

How to choose an elbow bandage?

Before buying an elbow bandage, pay attention to several important points:

1. For what purpose do you want to use the product? Is it for prevention, treatment, rehabilitation or for sports activities.
2. What level of fixation of the bandage do you need? Soft (elastic), medium or hard (with stiffening ribs or inserts).
3. Choose the right size of the bandage for your elbow. The bandage should fit snugly to the arm, but not squeeze it. The size is usually selected based on the circumference of the arm in the elbow area.
4. Pay attention to the material of the product. It should be a breathable, hypoallergenic, wear-resistant material.
