Bauerfeind’s EpiTrain elbow brace offers support and relief for each condition as well as for injuries or after surgery. The EpiTrain uses its knit material, targeted compression and massage pads with massage nubs to reduce pain and swelling, which helps encourage the elbow’s healing process.

How do elbow braces help treat elbow injuries?

Bauerfeind’s elbow braces, supports and straps provide stability, gentle massage and medical-grade compression to help support and heal the elbow from injury. The German-engineered technology of Bauerfeind braces maximizes proprioceptive feedback and the body’s natural regenerative systems to protect the elbow and speed recovery.

Can I use an FSA or HSA to pay for an elbow brace?

Bauerfeind elbow braces and supports are eligible for reimbursement through most FSA (Flexible Spending Account), HSA (Healthcare Savings Account) and HRA (Health Reimbursement Arrangement) plans. Please consult your specific plan administrator for more details.

How can I wash my elbow brace?

Because you should wear your elbow brace directly against your skin, it will inevitably come into contact with the sweat and grime from your body. For this reason, choosing a washable elbow brace is very important. All Bauerfeind elbow braces and supports are machine washable and easy to care for. In fact, Bauerfeind recommends regular washing to maintain the shape and compression of the knitted fabric.

Can I wash my elbow brace?

For products with Velcro straps, pads or inserts, remove them if possible, or fasten them securely at the place provided on the brace. Machine wash your brace in cold water using the gentle or delicate cycle. Wash separately using a laundry detergent with no additives (do not use fabric softener or Woolite). Lay your support flat and let it air-dry; do not put it in the dryer. Proper washing and drying helps your knit support maintain its elasticity and original fit. For more information, visit the Bauerfeind product care guide.

Can I wear my elbow brace at night?

Elbow braces and supports from Bauerfeind are also sometimes known as "active supports" – i.e. they make it easier for those who wear them to move around. It’s actually this movement that enables the supports to have a positive effect on the body and the healing process. The massage function and the intermittent compression cannot be activated when you’re immobile, however. For this reason, wearing support at night is not effective. It’s better if you wear the elbow support during the day when you’re active and then let your elbow relax at night.
