The Aircast Pneumatic Armband contains a single pre-inflated air cell that concentrates compression directly on the extensor muscle, delivering instant relief that doesn’t restrict your movement. The Aircast Pneumatic Armband provides immediate relief for those suffering from acute and chronic injuries affecting the elbow, wrist, forearm, and epicondylitis, which is commonly known as tennis or golfers elbow.

As a result, I have to wear it over a long sleeve shirt or sweater. In fairness, it does help…
Works when others don’t. Even though I saw this when my elbow first got hurt, I skipped over this one. I didn’t want the little airbag sticking out of my sleeve. Bought one that looked nicer, seemed better built, and even after the closed reduction procedure and was released to get away from full brace, still used the other brace. Which, wasn’t working at all. The physical therapist recommended this one, The day it came in, I was wearing the other brace, still having same pain, and within a couple of hours after…
