Epico ROM kidz elbow orthosis
- Flexion and extension 0°-120°
- Extended hand support
- Slip-resistant upper arm padding
Description
A wide variety of conditions of the elbow and lower arm require immobilisation at a specific angle. The medi Epico ROM®s Kidz is an elbow brace for children that allows mobilisation with immobilisation of the elbow joint. The proximal radioulnar articulation (part of the elbow joint) is immobilised. The brace allows the angle of the proximal radioulnar joint to be set in 10-degree steps from 0° (completely straight) to 120° (sharply bent). This ensures an individual mobilisation of the elbow joint appropriate to the stage of rehabilitation. The excellent material of the extended hand support provides more comfort, even in the case of severe swelling. Slip-resistant upper arm padding gives a secure fit. The pads can be easily shortened, thus allowing the support to be adapted to fit the individual patient.
The elbow support medi Epico ROM®s Kidz can be used when an early functional mobilisation with limitation of movement of the elbow joint and a simultaneous immobilisation of the proximal radioulnar joint is required. Thus, the medi Epico ROM®s Kidz splint for the elbow is used in:
- Surgical fixation of the inner (medial) and/or outer (lateral) collateral ligaments
- Nonsurgical (conservative) treatment of elbow dislocations
- Surgical treatment after elbow dislocations with associated bone injuries (elbow fracture-dislocation)
- Reconstruction of the inner (medial) and outer (lateral) collateral ligaments
- Surgical treatment of biceps or triceps ruptures
- Fractures of the head of the radius (conservative / postoperative)
- Treatment following insertion of a prosthesis
- Distal humeral fractures with (conservative / postoperative)
At the same time, the adjustable limitation of movement can lead to a reduction in movement-related pain. The hand support prevents inward and outward rotation (pronation and supination) of the lower arm, which assists the healing process.
Intended purpose:medi Epico ROMs Kidz is an elbow brace for mobilisation with immobilisation of the proximal radioulnar articulation.
