Description
The Elbow Helix is a shorter compression sleeve designed for the elbow joint, intended for situations where the extra length of the Full Elbow sleeve isn’t needed. The manufacturer describes it as suited to tennis and golfers elbow, arthritis of the elbow, and minor swelling. As always, it’s worth checking with your own clinician about whether compression is appropriate for your situation.
According to the product details, the sleeve is built to avoid limiting range of motion and to grip the skin so it doesn’t slip. It uses uniform, medical-grade compression rather than bulky straps and buckles, and has a closed-cell foam core described as not absorbing odor and bacteria. It can be machine washed and dried.
Specifications listed: 3 mm thick, 20-30 mmHg compression level, closed-cell synthetic rubber core, high-stretch fabric on the inside and outside layers, latex free, and a six-thread flatlock seam. The medium length is 7.5 inches (small is 6 inches, large is 8.5 inches).
Fit matters here. The brand advises measuring your bicep one inch above the elbow crease with a straight arm, and specifically not measuring your forearm. The sizing chart appears in the product images on the merchant’s page. This listing is for the medium in black (MPN Elbow-Medium-Black), priced at 41.00 USD and shown as in stock at iReliev US.
