BraceAbility Pediatric Elbow Immobilizer – Arm Restraint Brace and Extension Splint to Keep Arm Straight for Toddlers/Children/Kids (Small)

Description

This simple elbow immobilizer consists of a soft foam cuff and aluminum
splints that prevent your baby, toddler or child from bending the elbow. You
might need such arm restraints if your child: Needs cleft palate or cleft lip
surgery Has broken or sprained the arm Is autistic and prone to scratching or
hitting his or her face Is having trouble breaking a thumb-sucking habit Needs
to be stopped from pulling out an IV The pediatric arm immobilizers come with
hook and loop tab closures that make applying and removing the elbow splints a
breeze. They also help you to customize the fit to your child. Note that the
extra-small version of this elbow immobilizer is for infants, as it fits elbow
circumferences ranging from 4 to 6 inches. The small size is for toddlers and
children whose elbow circumference ranges from 6.5 to 8.5 inches. Use a soft
tape measure to check. The arm restraints for special needs kids immobilize
the elbow while leaving the rest of the arm free. This is great both for your
child’s comfort and for preventing his or her arm from getting stiff and
losing strength during longer periods of use. The medical-grade foam used to
construct the elbow fracture splint makes it lightweight and breathable. The
finished edges of the pediatric arm restraints are smooth against the skin.
Plus the elbow stabilizer is free of latex. Another huge bonus is that you can
clean these pedi-wrap arm immobilizers in the washing machine. However, they
will need to be air-dried. Closing the hook and loop closures before washing
the elbow restraints can help prevent them from wearing out. The pediatric
elbow immobilizer should fit fairly snugly, but not so tight that your child
or baby’s fingers get cold. Wearing the kids’ elbow extension brace over a
thin layer of clothing can prevent chafing.
