Description
The Full Elbow Helix is a compression sleeve that covers the entire elbow joint, with material extending several inches both above and below the joint so it also sits over the upper forearm and lower portion of the upper arm. According to body helix, it’s the style they point to for recent tendonitis and for injuries to the elbow or the muscles around it. The shorter Elbow Helix, by contrast, covers only the joint itself and is positioned more for injury prevention and arthritis compression.
The brand lists it as suited for tennis and golfer’s elbow, arthritis of the elbow, swelling, forearm strains, and strains to the lower biceps and triceps. Highlights from body helix include uniform medical-grade compression, high-stretch material that isn’t meant to limit range of motion, a fit that grips the skin when you sweat rather than slipping, and no straps or buckles. It’s machine wash and dry.
Specs: 3 mm thick, closed-cell synthetic rubber core that won’t absorb odor and bacteria, high-stretch fabric on the inside and outside layers, six-thread flatlock seam, latex free, 20-30 mmHg compression level. This listing is the X-Large in Royal Blue (MPN Full-Elbow-XL-Royal), listed new and in stock at $57.00 USD.
Fit matters with this one. body helix asks you to measure your bicep with your arm straight, 1-2 inches above the elbow crease — not your forearm — and to check the sizing chart in the product images on the merchant page.
