Description
The Full Elbow Helix is a compression sleeve that covers the whole elbow joint, with material extending several inches 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 is the style they point to for recent tendonitis and for injuries to the elbow or the muscles around it, while the shorter Elbow Helix covers only the joint itself.
The brand lists it as suitable for tennis and golfer’s elbow, arthritis of the elbow, swelling, forearm strains, and strains to the lower portion of the biceps and triceps. Body helix says the stretch of the material means you won’t lose range of motion, and that the fabric locks to your skin when you start sweating so it doesn’t slip or need readjusting. There are no straps or buckles, and it’s machine wash and dry.
Specs from the brand: 3 mm thick, closed-cell synthetic rubber core that won’t absorb odor and bacteria, high-stretch fabric on the inside and outside layers, latex free, six-thread flatlock seam, and a 20–30 mmHg compression level.
Fit matters here. Body helix asks you to measure your bicep with your arm straight, 1–2 inches above the crease of your elbow — not your forearm — and to check the sizing chart in the product images before ordering. This listing is the X-Large in black, sold by iReliev US and listed as in stock and new.
