Introducing the Contender™ Post-Op Elbow, an orthosis that brings innovation back to bracing. Simple and precise ZipTrak™ adjustment system minimizes fit time while the aluminum humeral, forearm and wrist cuffs are easily contoured by hand to provide a secure fit and help limit brace migration. The Contender is also the only post-op elbow with a removable biceps cuff that helps avoid incision site irritation while promoting greater flexion range at the elbow. QuikZip™ Buckle System enables one-handed application and fabric-covered compression molded pads help eliminate pressure points and ensure maximum patient comfort and compliance. Padded cradle-style sling is included withevery brace. Sized hand attachments are available separately that allow the wrist/hand to be positioned in neutral, pronation or supination. The ROM hinge features an 11-position drop lock that fixes the brace from -10° to 90° in 10° increments. Controlled range of motion is available from -10° to 110° and is easily set using flexion and extension finger-touch buttonsthat can be discretely locked using our unique FlexLok™ band.

Position the strap approximately 2–3 finger-widths below the lateral epicondyle (bony point on the outside of the elbow). The pressure pad should sit over the forearm extensor muscle belly, not directly on the tendon attachment point. Should I wear an elbow brace while sleeping? For cubital tunnel syndrome, a night splint that keeps the elbow in slight extension is often recommended. For tennis or golfer's elbow, wearing a strap during sleep is generally not necessary — follow your physiotherapist's specific advice. Does Medibrace offer free shipping in Canada? Yes.
