Heyshapeing Elbow Immobilizer Splint And Arm Restraint Wrap, Small

• ✓Cotton elbow splint with adjustable velcro
• ✓Fits newborn to age over 5
• ✓Works on left or right arm
• ✓Hand wash only, air dry

A pediatric elbow immobilizer that keeps a child's elbow from bending while still allowing the rest of the arm to move. Made from cotton with a PP support strip and adjustable hook and loop fasteners, it is designed for children who need their arm movement limited, such as after cleft palate repair, during IV therapy, for special needs care, or to help stop thumb sucking. It fits either the right or left arm and comes in sizes from XSmall for newborns up to X-Large for ages over five.

The soft cotton material feels gentle against the skin, and the strap tightens so the splint stays in place without slipping down. For the best fit, ask another person to help you put it on, and have your child wear long sleeves underneath for the best results. Sizing is based on elbow circumference for Small and Large, while XSmall and X-Large are chosen by age.

Benefits

• ✓Prevents the elbow from bending while allowing other arm movements
• ✓Adjustable velcro straps keep it from slipping down
• ✓Can be used as an arm restraint for face or mouth touching, thumb sucking, or IV therapy
• ✓Universal design fits either arm
• ✓Soft cotton is comfortable against the skin

How to Use

Adjust the velcro straps so the elbow stabilizer fits snugly, which keeps it from slipping down. It can be worn on either the right or left arm. For the best fit, have another person help you put it on, and have the child wear long sleeves before use.

Tip: For children who know how to open the velcro, one splint can be worn so they are not stopped from moving when they need something urgently, such as the washroom or eating; if you do not want it removed easily, wearing two is the best choice.
