Intended purpose
protect.Epi is an elbow support. The
product is exclusively to be used for the
orthotic fitting of the elbow and only on
unbroken skin.
Indications
• Irritation of the tendon insertion
(epicondylitis)
• Joint effusion, swelling and irritation
(e.g. arthrosis, arthritis, overloading,
injury, postoperative)
Contraindications
Diseases or injuries to the skin,
sensitivity or perfusion disorders in the
arms, lymph drainage disorders.
Mechanism of action
Together with the pad, the knitted fabric
has a massaging effect, improves
perfusion and reduces effusion and
swelling. This combination of massage
and stabilisation supports joint function,
enhances joint mobility and alleviates
pain.

physical activity. In principle, the
support can be worn throughout the
day. During long periods of rest (e.g.
sleeping), the support should be
removed.
Instructions for fitting

and pull this over the elbow till the
crook of the arm is in the middle of the

palpable through the gaps in the pads
(Fig. 2).
Please note that the support should be
fitted for the first time as instructed by
trained specialists.
