TECHNOLOGY AND MEDICAL BENEFIT

01 Innovative Knit for Optimal Activation

Crafted with Bauerfeind's cutting- edge patented Train knit, the EpiTrain Elbow Support provides targeted relief and stabilisation of the elbow joint through improved blood and oxygen circulation, and mechanosensory stimulation. Enabled through class 2 (Ccl2) medical- graded compression, the EpiTrain is suitable to stimulate natural physiological healing responses to counteract pain, numbness, and tingling associated with epicondylitis and tendinopathies, as well as enhance anti-inflammatory activation to mitigate impingement and stiffness in the elbow. This activation of healing processes ensures adequate fortification of the joint against mild instability and recurrence vulnerability, whilst enabling optimal movement for supported stabilisation during activity. The intermittent compression further enhances muscle activation to counteract joint weakness and improve forearm and grip strength.

The compressive effect of the EpiTrain can be reinforced through the accessory EpiTrain Forearm Strap, which maximises direct and local compression at common impingement sites to provide relief in cases of epicondylitis and tendinitis.

02 Pressure- Reduced Edges for Ideal Wearing Comfort

The three- dimensional active knit has been crafted with anatomical precision to ensure a seamless interface with the skin. Reduced pressure at the edges ensures a comfortable wearing experience by preventing impingement and construction.

03 Adaptive Design for a Perfect Fit

Constructed from a high-tech and breathable knit, the EpiTrain effectively adapts to the contours of the elbow to optimise the fit and mitigate slippage or migration for an effective wearing experience during both low and high intensity performance. The highly elastic design further empowers easy donning and doffing to contribute to an effective wearing experience.

04 Functional Elements for Enhanced Therapy

In combination with the innovative compressive knit, the EpiTrain is enhanced with integrated Epicon+ silicone stabilising pads that encase the medial and lateral epicondyles for targeted stimulation and swelling management at common sites of injury. The pads exert a firm pressure and massaging sensation during movement to relieve pain and discomfort at muscle and tendon insertion sites, counteract stiffness, and accelerate the absorption of oedema to stimulate healing. This is reinforced by dense nubs within the pads that exert targeted and direct pressure at pain sites to override pain responses, support the redistribution of fluid, and activate mechanosensory structures for improved neuromuscular stabilisation. 

05 Firm Materials to Reinforce and Maximise Relief

The relieving effect of the Epicon+ pads are reinforced by the integration of dense nubs within the pads that exert targeted and direct pressure at pain sites to override pain responses, support the redistribution of fluid, and activate mechanosensory structures for improved neuromuscular stabilisation. 

06 Adaptative Design for an Effective Wearing Experience

An integrated expansion zone at the cubital site enables the fabric to seamlessly adapt during movement and bending without pinching of the material on the skin, thereby preserving comfort during wear whilst encouraging joint movement.

 

PRODUCT DESIGN

• Symmetrical: The EpiTrain Elbow Support is universal and can be worn on the left and right elbows.
• Anatomical Fit: Guaranteed perfect fit through individual measurement system.

 

ENSURING A PERFECT FIT

The EpiTrain Elbow Support is available in multiple sizes to ensure a perfect fit. Refer to the guide below to correctly measure for this product:

1. The point of measurement is approximately at the widest point of the forearm
2. Extract a single circumference measurement at this point

Refer to sizing chart to resolve the perfect match.
