Wrist, Elbow, Joint Wraps, Supports and Braces
Occupational therapists often recommend over-the-counter analgesics and use wraps, braces and supports to treat upper extremity strains, sprains or repetitive task injuries. The most common choice of support to restrict range of motion or to relieve pain associated with inflammation and swelling around wrist and elbow joints is the simple elastic wrap bandage, readily available in any drug store.

The versatility of elastic bandages is also their main disadvantage:
often wrapped too tightly, the quality of the compression and support supplied depends on the skill and knowledge of the person applying the wrap.

Reduction or increase of swelling during the day or exposure to water may require frequent, time-consuming rewrapping, and bandage ends may come loose and present dangerous entanglement hazards.

Easily adjusted Decade® elastics are specifically shaped and sized to provide the right amounts of compression and support quickly and easily, no matter who puts them on. Secure closures and sturdy construction mean there are no dangling straps, threads or loose ends that might catch in machinery.

General guidelines for choosing Decade® braces, supports and wraps

Braces: Braces, such as our 15 and 30 degree splints, provide the highest degree of restriction and most rigid support, sometimes with localized compression options. May contain immobilizing pads or rigid adjustable splints. Splinted braces are usually recommended for overnight relief of pain, or on the advice of a physician.

Supports: Less restrictive than braces, but still provide beneficial restriction, usually by redirecting stress away from sore muscles or joints. Allow more flexibility.

Wraps: Least restrictive products, used as a less bulky replacement for difficult to adjust elastic bandages. Available in a wider variety of lengths, prices, and degrees of firmness.

Once the necessary degree of restriction or compression has been established, consider flexibility, comfortable fit under clothing or gloves, product's ability to retain or diffuse body heat, durability and washability.
