Why Do I Need an Adult Elbow Splint & Stabilizer?

Helps Restrain Your Elbow for a Variety of Reasons

The elbow brace can be used for many things - to prevent movement of an injured arm or prevent further damage to a surgery site. Some of the most common uses of this elbow support for treatment include:

Cleft Palate and IV Therapy

View our pediatric elbow stabilizer for toddler and babies. This elbow splint is ideal for when your child’s movements must be limited, such as when they have a cleft palate repair or for IV therapy.

Ulnar Nerve Entrapment

This brace can be used for ulnar nerve entrapment (cubital tunnel syndrome) and ulnar neuropathy treatment. When your ulnar nerve becomes compressed, irritated, or pinched, you might experience an aching pain or tingling sensation on the inside of your elbow. It is one of the main nerves in your arm so keeping it immobilized will help minimize your pain. For even more support, check out our cubital tunnel brace.  

Elbow Fractures

If you are experiencing pain because of a broken elbow, you may want to use this splint after a surgery or when the bones are at low risk of moving out of place and you just want to keep it still.

Postoperative Use

After surgery, your elbow may be unstable, weak and/or swollen—all scenarios where you could use support and immobilization. For that reason, this elbow splint can also be helpful post surgery.

Elbow Night Splint

This brace could also be used as an elbow nighttime splint. It will prevent painful movements while you are sleeping or resting and keep your arm in a comfortable position. Sleeping with your elbow bent can increase the pain you are experiencing. Using this brace will help you from bending your elbow too much.
