Contraindications - Medi Epibrace Gebrauchsanweisung

medi Epibrace
Intended purpose
medi Epibrace is an epicondylitis brace. The
product is exclusively to be used for the
orthotic fitting of the muscle base and only on
unbroken skin.
Indications
Inflammation of the common tendon at the
elbow, e.g. tennis elbow (lateral epicondy litis)
or golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis)

Contraindications

No side effects have been reported to date. In
the following circumstances you should consult
your doctor before use:
• Disorders or injuries of the skin in the area
where the product is used, above all in case of
signs of inflammation (excessive heat,
swelling or reddening).
• Sensory or circulatory disturbances of the
forearm or the hand.
• Disorders of lymphatic drainage and swelling
of unclear origin of the soft tissues distal to
the elbow.
• Impingement syndrome (pressure irritation
of the nerves supplying the arm).
If you have a known history of contact allergy or
tenderness to pressure, you should wear a thin
cotton armsleeve under the medi Epibrace as a
preventive measure. In principle, supports or
braces that fit too tightly to or around the body
can cause local pressure phenomena or, more
rarely, to constriction of blood vessels or nerves.
Wearing directions
During longer periods of rest (e.g. when
sleeping) you should take the medi Epibrace
off.
