The Bamboo Brace^®
XL - Teen / Adult

Age range

13-15 years – adult

Specifications

10.5 ins (26.7 cm) long x 15.0 ins (38.0 cm) in wrap around girth x 3.0 mm thick

Recommendations

The teen/adult should have about 14.5 ins (36.5 cm) of length from the beginning of the underarm to the wrist. To ensure a secure fit and performance, we recommend 0.5 ins (1.25 cm) as the minimum amount of overlap on the wrap-around portion..

Notes

The XL-Teen/Adult is designed for children in the earlier teenage years through adulthood. A full 1-2 ins (5 cm) beyond the brace above and below the elbow is recommended for this size and nearly full passive range of motion is helpful in determining its effectiveness in rehab and behaviour situations and requires careful consideration before using it as a contracture management tool.

Cutting Down the Wrap-Around Girth of the XL - Teen/Adult Brace:

In situations where the user can manage the length of the brace with sufficient space beyond the brace above and below the elbow, but the wrap-around girth has too much material, the XL sized brace can be cut-down to mimic the wrap-around of the size L brace. Locate the gap between the hook & loop patches about 3 ins (7.5 cm) up from the bottom of the brace and trim across with fabric scissors being careful not to damage the stitching securing the remaining hook & loop patches.
