The Knitted Elbow Support is a specialized brace designed for the effective treatment of tennis elbow syndrome (lateral epicondylitis) and general epicondylitis. Its distinguishing feature is the integrated silicone pad, which is strategically placed to provide targeted support and compression to the extensor tendons, significantly aiding in pain relief and healing. This knitted support offers a combination of therapeutic compression and precise pressure for optimal recovery.
How to Use:
To apply the Knitted Elbow Support, slide it over your hand and up your arm until the elbow joint is centered within the brace. Position the silicone pad directly over the affected extensor tendons on the outside of the elbow (for tennis elbow) or flexor tendons on the inside (for golfer’s elbow). Ensure the pad sits comfortably against the skin, providing localized compression. The knitted design will provide overall gentle compression. Adjust for a snug fit that supports the tendons without restricting circulation or causing discomfort.
Why to Use:
The Knitted Elbow Support provides focused and enhanced therapy for elbow tendonitis:
- Targeted Tendon Support: The integrated silicone pad provides precise compression and massage to the extensor tendons, directly addressing the pain and inflammation associated with tennis elbow and epicondylitis.
- Pain Relief: The combination of compression from the knitted fabric and localized pressure from the silicone pad significantly reduces pain and discomfort in the elbow joint.
- Reduces Inflammation: By providing targeted compression, it can help reduce swelling and inflammation in the affected tendons and surrounding tissues.
- Improved Circulation: The gentle massage action of the silicone pad and the compression can enhance blood flow to the area, promoting faster healing.
- Proprioceptive Feedback: The support provides proprioceptive input, increasing awareness of the elbow joint’s position, which can help prevent re-injury during activities.
- Comfortable Knitted Design: Made from a breathable and elastic knitted fabric, it ensures comfort during extended periods of wear, conforming to the elbow’s anatomy.
- Flexible Movement: Offers support without restricting the natural range of motion of the elbow, making it suitable for both daily activities and light exercise.
Recommended For: Individuals suffering from tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis), or general tendonitis around the elbow joint requiring targeted support.

How to Care:
To maintain the effectiveness and hygiene of your Knitted Elbow Support , hand wash it gently in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach, harsh chemical cleaners, or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the elastic materials and the silicone pad. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue and gently squeeze out excess water (do not twist or wring). Air dry completely on a flat surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron, as these methods can compromise the material’s elasticity, the pad’s integrity, and the brace’s supportive properties.
Material:
The Knitted Elbow Support is typically constructed from a blend of high-quality, elastic, and breathable materials:
- Elastic Knitted Fabric: The main sleeve is made from a durable and comfortable elastic knitted textile (e.g., polyamide, polyester, elastane blend) that provides graded compression.
- Silicone Pad: The integrated pad is made from soft, viscoelastic silicone, designed to conform to the anatomy and provide targeted pressure and massage.
- Seamless Construction (Often): Many knitted supports feature seamless or minimal-seam construction to prevent skin irritation.
- Reinforced Edges: The top and bottom edges are typically reinforced to prevent rolling or fraying during use.
