Customer Reviews of Imak Elbow Support - Adjustable Pil-O-Splint Universal
Customer Review: Compressed Ulnar Nerve while sleeping.
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this while sleeping to help keep my arm straight. I have a compressed ulnar nerve and this helps. I'm an "active" sleeper with 16+ inch arms so it doesn't stay put. Its hard to velcro on tight without help, and its never stayed in position all night, but all in all, its not perfect, but its pretty good. I have noticed a big difference since I started using it.
**update** the plastic splint snapped in two while I was sleeping. I contacted the seller who put me in contact with the manufacturer. The manufacturer's rep was VERY helpful. They sent me a replacement splint at no cost to me! The replacement arrived less than 4 days after I contacted the seller! This may be the best service resolution I've ever had. I will definitely use them again.
Customer Review: Most support you could get without a cast
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this because my physical therapist said my arm pain from typing too much was partly due to the fact that while I slept, my arms would seize up into a position that didn't let them recover from the typing. Sure enough, when I started using a bandage, I began to notice my arms wanting to do that a night.
However the Ace type bandages I was using weren't strong enough to keep my arms from contracting (I lift wieghts, and my arms are not small). So I ordered this and the difference was noticeable the first night after using it. My arms felt much better in the morning, and the bandage definitely kept my arm much more straight (though it couldn't keep it totally straight) than before-
Customer Review: Solid comfortable splint.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a well made comfortable elbow splint. It does what it is intended to. I will echo a previous reviewer's comment about the plastic splint it comes with forcing the elbow into a completely straight position, however. This is easily mitigated if you carefully heat a spot on the hard plastic splint (say, with a butane lighter) and gently bend it into a 10 or 20 degree angle.
I purchased this item on a recommendation from the orthopod that I saw to get an elbow immobilizer for sleep.
Customer Review: Elbow Splint Review
Summary: 5 Stars
This item is truly adjustable to all sizes.
It works well as a "tennis elbow" splint - and allows just enough range of motion to be able to do most daily activities - while reminding the user to go easy on the elbow.
Comfortable to sleep in and to drive in.
A really good alternative from immobilizing with a sling my Dr. agreed in my case this was a good alternative.
Customer Review: Flimsy
Summary: 1 Stars
This thing is, in my opinion, a flimsy piece of junk. I find it very difficult to place on myself, but perhaps that is because I have a small arm. The small piece of plastic also does not contour to the elbow, and is not enough to maintain a constant position during sleeping. It also slips down continuously.
