The Comfyprene Elbow Orthosis from Comfy Splints has an array of therapeutic uses. With adjustable straps and a bend-to-fit design, it is one of the most accommodating braces you will find. The Comfyprene Elbow Orthosis allows graduated extension of the elbow and can be adjusted to the needed range of motion for your patient. The soft material is comfortable, absorbs moisture, allows air circulation, and prevents skin maceration. It can be used for non-fixed elbow contractures and will hold flaccid extremities in a functional position. Use it to treat deformities from neuromuscular impairments and changes caused by arthritis. Velcro is utilized to secure the straps, but it is designed so no velcro touches the skin. Despite the lightweight and discreet design, this elbow splint is supportive and durable. Edges are round and padded to reduce the chance of patients injuring themselves while the foam used prevents any pressure areas.
The Comfyprene Elbow Orthosis from Comfy Splints is useful in treating golfer's elbow, tennis elbow, and tendonitis. Golfer's elbow and tennis elbow both impact the tendons around the elbow, causing them to become damaged or inflamed. This can happen from overuse, which is common in the sports they were named for. You can reduce pressure and strain on these tendons with the Comfyprene. You can adjust and readjust the splint as needed without the use of any tools or heat.
The Comfyprene Elbow Orthosis complies with HCPCS CODE: L1836.

-

Instead of removable terrycloth covers, the Comfyprene™ splint inserts are covered with soft neoprene and headliner material, which creates a slim profile for everyday comfort. Splints are adjustable and re-adjustable using the Comfy™ patented reinforced spine. Straps may be positioned anywhere on the splint for optimal fit. Excellent for use after sports injuries, removal of casts, sports medicine or for arthritic patient's support of the weakened extremity.
All Comfyprene™ Splints come standard with five attachable and removable hygiene liners. Unlike the traditional Comfy Splint, there are no removable covers on Comfyprene™ Splints.
