•Mechanical relief of the tendon attachments at the epicondyles •Compression of the forearm musculature at its largest circumference below the elbow, without impairing blood flow. •Exchangeable felt/silicone padding inserts minimise slippage •Visual tension control check (red/green marking) The Epicondylitis-Clasp achieves mechanical relief of the tendon attachments at the epicondyles. The clasp compresses the forearm musculature at its largest circumference below the elbow, without impairing blood flow. The clasp helps to relieve discomfort on both sides of the forearm. The angle of movement of the extensor musculature on the outside and of the flexor musculature on the inside of the forearm is altered so that when the clasp is correctly positioned the tendon attachment points are relieved on both sides. The pad which has to be placed on the inner forearm is the smaller of the two, thereby increasing pressure on this side. The clasp should only be worn during work or sporting activities. Because of its small size it is unobtrusive and does not impair blood flow of the forearm unlike conventional circular bandages. A large number of patients, mainly industrial workers, have participated in user trials with the Epicondilytis Clasp over many years. Approx. 90% benefited from a marked reduction of symptoms, considerably reducing the need for further treatment with local injections. Indications: Tendopathies, Epicondylitis Humeri Medialis, Epicondylitis humeri lateralis. Contraindications: Large skin lesions or diseases in the affected area, extended hematoma and severe swellings.
