This elbow splint has a malleable spin and is fully adjustable at every joint, allowing for the most comfortable custom fit. It can be found in sizes Adult and Adult Small, with the option of a terry cloth cover or headliner cover. The Adult Small is only available with terry cloth. Both types of covers are designed to be long-lasting, and can easily be removed and machine washed. The Comfy Splints Elbow Orthosis prevents skin maceration by allowing the air to circulate and absorbing moisture. The straps are padded and soft to minimize the chance of self-injuries while increasing patient comfort. It is easy to close the straps with velcro, but they are designed in a way to keep the velcro from making contact with the skin. Elbow extension can be increased by grading up the splint. It can be used for a range of medical conditions, including recovering from surgery or an injury. This elbow splint is also ideal for positioning a flaccid elbow or arm in a functional position. It can be used to restrict deformity from neuromuscular impairment and changes related to arthritis. The splint complies with HCPCS CODE: L3762 requirements. When fitted on a patient's arm, you should be able to slide two fingers under the straps. It should also be checked every two hours to make sure no skin problems arise, such as blisters, redness, or abrasions.
