- Can this band be worn over clothes? My long sleeves probably will not go over the long sleeves [mostly thin t-shirt weight] that are worn this time of the year.
- Sandy
Yes you can wear this brace over clothes

- My husband has golfers elbow and I was thinking about ordering one of these for him. My question is, would this type of product work for him when he is lifting heavy weights in the gym as that is when he is in the most pain?
- Yes, the Aircast Pneumatic Armband will work during weightlifting, however the DonJoy Surround Floam Elbow Support might be a bit more comfortable and not cause as much sweating which could cause the brace to slip and slide around. The DonJoy Surround Floam Elbow Support will stay in place better.

- Is there any advantage to wearing this brace when not doing work or exercise?
- Bill
The arm band will help to eliminate the constant pull of the muscle tendons on the outside of your elbow. The band allows for a decrease in inflammation which should decrease pain. It will help to use the band when exercising or working because that is when the muscles are doing the most work.

- I have used the Aircast armband in the past for tennis elbow (pain on the outside). Physical Therapist had said to make sure to pull the strap away from body. Now I have golfers elbow (inside) and I'm putting the pillow on the inside below the inside bone. Does it make a difference which way I pull the strap?
- Mary
The pad on the inside of the elbow for golfers elbow and it does not make a difference which way you pull the strap

- My forearm measures 12", will this "one size fits all" fit my measurement?
- It should fit that circumference

- I have golfers elbow and am looking to purchase the Aircast Pneumatic Armband. The pain is strictly on the inside bony part of the elbow right where the arm bends. Do I place the air pillow directly on that spot? The photo shows the pad on the opposite side of the arm right above the elbow, and I don't have any pain on my forearm, it's only the inside part of the elbow. Thanks.
- Mike
The armband can be used on the inside of the elbow as well. Just place the air pillow below the bony area on the inside of the elbow.

- I have a really old tennis elbow support. I actually am using it behind my knee to help relive sciatica nerve pain. It helps. My question is how wide is the current support. My old one is only about 2" wide which I like. Also where is this product available locally so that I can see in person?
- Sharon
The Aircast Armband is 2" wide but we do not have retail locations for our products. You can check you local DME dealers in your area and ask if they carry the product. Another option is to contact the local aircast rep in your area and ask them of a location that carries that product.

- I currently have a tennis elbow band that I use mainly during baseball daily. But after about three games of using it the velcro and band just continues to pop right off. Does anyone know if they make one of these tennis elbow bands free of velcro or something that will hold up and not give out after a few times of use, such as rubber? It works so would really like a more dependable band!
Thanks in advance! - James
I do not know of a tennis elbow support that does not have a velcro strap, however a thicker band might help such as the Procare Universal Floam http://www.betterbraces.com/procare-universal-surround-elbow-wfloam

- How does this product compare with the elastic compression band?
- Liz,
The Aircast Pheumatic Armbad will have a small aircell that will give a more focused compression on the outside muscle. The Elastic Compression Band which will apply a more uniform compression around the arm. Thank you for your question and for contacting DJO.

- I broke my radius in my arm about a year and a half ago and I am very active in sports. My arm always hurts at the elbow is this a good product to support that part of the elbow ?
- This product is used more for the ligaments and muscle than the elbow itself. You should look at the DonJoy Elbow Guard for ROM comtrol.

- I have the Aircast Armband.....what I do not know is how tight should I draw it?
Thank you. - You want it to be tight to give some compression, but not so tight it causes numbness, tingling, discomfort or your fingers turning blue

- I have severe tennis elbow and am not exactly where to p,ace the armband. My elbow hurts from the bone to mid forearm particularly the backside under my elbow. I have read to not put it on the pained area but it is all in pain! Suggestions?
- Donna,
Thank you for conatcting DJO Global. If you place your arm bent at a 90 degree angle and the thumb pointing skyward, the aircell goes to the outside of thearm on the muscl just to the outside of the top of the arm just below the bend.

- Should I wear the Aircast when I am doing physical work or activity? I have been wearing it at the end of the day after I ice my elbow.
Thank you. - The Aircast Pneumatic Armband is recommended to be worn while doing activity, it decreases the friction on your tendons while using the muscles. Wear it during upper body activities for best results.

- I recently purchased an aircast for golfers elbow. Could you please provide advise on exactly where i position the aircast/air pouch in relation to my elbow for maximum effectiveness. If it helps my pain is in the flexor pronator area.
Thanks! - You would want to position the pouch on the forearm just distal (towards the wrist) of where the pain is. Make sure the strap is pulled snug.

- I am SEVERELY allergic to neoprene. Does this brace contain any neoprene?
- Hello Carla,
The Aircast Pneumatic Armband has NO neoprene and NO latex.

- I was diagnosed with Lateral Epicondylitis. Do I wear the brace with the pillow on the top of the forearm (if arm crossed over chest it is facing out) or do I wear it with the pillow on the side (aligned with your thumb)?
- If your Lateral Epicondylitis or Tennis Elbow is on on the outside of your elbow you would want the Aircast Armband air pillow to be as close to where the elbow pain is located. So you want the pillow on the same side or outside of your elbow.

Reviewed by: KimWore the band one time. It did what it was supposed to do. However, I am allergic to the material in the strap because when I took it off, I noticed a reddened area with bumps that looked like a burn around my forearm the area the strap came in contact with my skin. Only gave 3 stars -- maybe strap could be covered with a different material.Posted on September 2, 2016Love it
