Mediven Epicomed E+Motion

Epicomed E+Motion

Epicomed is an elbow support. The product is exclusively to be used for the orthotic fitting of the elbow and only on
unbroken skin or if any wounds have been properly covered.

Mode of action

Epicomed causes a massage effect, which supports perfusion, by interacting with compressive knitted fabric and the two integrated silicon inlays. This effect furthers the decline in swellings and bruises. Irritation and pain are relieved. In addition, the lashing strap can be individually adjusted for the level of stress at work or during sport. This helps to reduce excessive stress on the musculature and tendons. 

Supports cause the greatest effect during physical exercise. In principal, the support can be worn all day. However,
this depends on how comfortable the support is to wear. You should avoid bending your arm tight for a long period.
The support should be taken off for longer breaks (e.g. when sleeping). 

If you suffer excessive pain or discomfort during wear, please take off the product immediately and contact your doctor or specialized shop. The support is also suitable for use in water. After use, please rinse out the product thoroughly

Indications 

• Irritation at the tendon insertion (Epicondylitis humeri), e.g. tennis elbow
• Joint inflammation (arthritis)
• Painful joint wear (arthrosis)
• Irritation of the joint (e.g. excessive stress, injuries or operations) linked to swelling or bruising 

Contraindications

No side-effect is known which influences the whole body. However, if bandages (or similar aids) are too tight,
local pressure effects or constriction of blood vessels or nerves may occur in individuals. For this reason, you should
discuss this with your doctor before applying the bandage if you suffer from:

• Diseases or injuries of the skin in the area of use, especially with inflammatory symptoms (excessive
  warming, swelling or reddening).
• Sensitivity and perfusion disorders of the legs or feet (e.g. in the case of diabetes).
• Lymph outflow disorders, as well as unclear swellings of soft tissues, apart from the area of use. 

Any combination with other products (e.g. compression arm stockings) must be discussed in advance with the
responsible doctor.

Care instructions

Velcro fasteners should be closed for washing. Soap residues, lotions and ointments can cause skin irritation and material wear. Fabric softeners, fats, oils, lotions, ointments and soap residues can affect the material, hinder the climate comfort effect and cause skin irritations.

• Wash the product by hand, preferably using a medi clean detergent, or in delicate cycle at 30°C using a mild detergent without fabric conditioners.
• Do not bleach.
• Leave to dry naturally.
• Do not iron.
