Compression and immobilisation for the elbow and upper arm are covered in this range, which brings together elasticated elbow supports, tennis elbow straps and adjustable arm slings. Brands stocked include Mueller, Medicare and Fortuna, in sizes from small through to extra large.

The right option depends on what you need from it. An elasticated elbow support is a sleeve that gives all-round compression and warmth, commonly chosen for general joint support during activity or everyday use. A tennis elbow strap is narrower and sits below the joint on the forearm, applying focused pressure to the tendon area rather than wrapping the whole elbow. An arm sling does a different job again, holding the arm still against the body while an injury settles, and is usually one-size-fits-all with an adjustable strap. Sizing on the sleeves is based on the circumference of the forearm just below the elbow, not on clothing size, so it is worth measuring before you order rather than estimating.

These supports are stocked at Ronaghan's Pharmacy, a family-run Irish pharmacy, where our team can talk you through the sizing if you are unsure. If you are recovering from a fracture, a recent operation or an injury that has been assessed by a doctor or physiotherapist, follow the advice you were given about which type of support to use and for how long.
