This prefabricated Prime® modular elbow system is effective for many upper extremity indications including olecranon fractures, proximal radial/ulnar fractures, and other elbow post-surgical or post-injury indications. It’s lightweight and has an adjustable range of motion joints to facilitate application in clinical or office settings with a minimum of tools required. The upper and lower arm sections are modular, allowing interchangeability for the patient size requirements. The standard orthosis includes an adjustable anodized aluminum lateral joint and a single-axis plastic medial joint for stability. A medial adjustable joint is available as an option. The lower arm component can be a wrist-hand design or an ulnar sleeve with no wrist-hand extension, depending on the need to limit rotation at the elbow.
- Easy to apply/remove for sock/dressing changes and wound inspection.
- Lightweight and durability encourage longer-term wear and patient compliance.
