DonJoy Performance Bionic Elbow Brace II - Large - Maximum Hinged Support for Elbow Hyperextension, UCL, Tommy John Ligament Injury, Dislocated Elbow for Football, Lacrosse, Rugby, Basketball

Very loose around the wrist has much less elbow padding than older model. How ever the straps are much better quality and very good ventilation.

I couldn't lift my right arm or hold it in certain positions so I researched for the best elbow brace for my price range with not a lot of extras or too flimsy. Excellent product... I purchased a medium the first time it was a bit snug but it did the trick... I'm a Chef so I do a lot of chopping, cutting etc. I couldn't even lift anything the brace added so much stability and flexibility which I had lost I misplaced the medium so i purchased the large cause it was one-day prime I needed it urgently, once it arrived I tried it out although a bit looser it worked out better than the medium the removable side hinges are quality steel and they provide more than enough stability and you feel a little added strength when moving or lifting, the velcro wraparound forearm strap keeps your arm comfortable when u need it most the biceps strap can be adjusted for your comfort level as to not cut off your circulation. The entire brace is made from pretty good and durable material as the longer you wear it it will conform to you, it also handles heat well considering what I do i've washed it several times and its still holds up like the day I got it... and I wear it sometimes 8-12 hours and it stays comfortable. 2 downsides #1 if u sweat it will stink if u wear it for long periods. #2 u have to adjust all the straps if u dont it slides down. other than that if this one gets ratty or I lose it i'll get another one.

Si funciona bien buena calidad

Not too bad but not as strong and useful as original, which I had for several years until it was mislaid. I'm 78 and need this brace for a wonky right elbow joint. The old model was better made, stronger, and gave me 100% protection when lifting anything. Not so sure about this one. And why the new one is called the Bionic II is beyond me -- maybe marketing -- but the older model was simply superior. That said, the new one will do until I find (I hope) the old model. Gerry

I purchased this elbow brace three years ago following a severe elbow dislocation and ligament tears from practicing Jiu-Jitsu. I used it consistently for a year until I received medical clearance. For Jiu-Jitsu training, I wear a cloth cotton sleeve underneath the brace to enhance its grip. I also modified an old rash guard sleeve to cover the brace, which helps keep the straps secure. Despite occasional slippage, the brace remains effective and durable. I wash the brace in a laundry bag after every use and have even soaked it with no issues. Over time, the straps and Velcro have degraded somewhat, but the sleeve I added provides additional support and extends its usability. If you've suffered a significant elbow injury and are looking to resume light training, I highly recommend this brace. Remember to follow your doctor’s advice.
