medi Epibrace
Intended purpose
medi Epibrace is an epicondylitis brace. The
product is exclusively to be used for the
orthotic fitting of the muscle base and only on
unbroken skin.
Indications
Excessive strain on the tendon tissue at the end
of the elbow, i.e. Tennis elbow (Epicondylitis
humeri radialis) or golfer's elbow (Epicondylitis
humeri ulnaris)
Contraindications
No side effects have been reported to date. In
the following circumstances you should consult
your doctor before use:
• Disorders or injuries of the skin in the area
where the product is used, above all in case of
signs of inflammation (excessive heat,
swelling or reddening).
• Sensory or circulatory disturbances of the
forearm or the hand.
• Disorders of lymphatic drainage and swelling
of unclear origin of the soft tissues distal to
the elbow.
• Impingement syndrome (pressure irritation
of the nerves supplying the arm).
If you have a known history of contact allergy or
tenderness to pressure, you should wear a thin
cotton armsleeve under the medi Epibrace as a
preventive measure. In principle, supports or
braces that fit too tightly to or around the body
can cause local pressure phenomena or, more
rarely, to constriction of blood vessels or nerves.
Wearing directions
During longer periods of rest (e.g. when
sleeping) you should take the medi Epibrace
off.
Applying the strap
• Open the strap on the brace and lie it down,
fully unrolling it, in front of you. Position your
forearm on the brace with your palm facing
upwards so that the light grey positioning
mark on the pad is positioned on the side that
