Our Sizing Tips
- For measurements that fall between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for greater levels of comfort
- The brace is meant to be compressive and will feel tight as a result; if you would prefer less tightness, please select a larger size
- If you do not have a flexible tape measure, take your measurements with a piece of string, then measure the string with a ruler
- If your joints swell, please take this into account when choosing your size

- A lighter build, without sacrificing compression
- Longer-lasting comfort and support
- Moisture-wicking to stop excess sweat build-up
Who Can Make Gains With the McDavid Knee Brace?
Arthritis and other chronic conditions that affect your elbow can make everyday activities like carrying the shopping seem really difficult. Wearing the McDavid Brace, you can support and strengthen your elbow to reduce pain and get you on the path to more strenuous exercise. It's also useful for minor injuries or sprains, which can be made worse if you don't support your elbow during recovery.
Contoured Design Keeps Support in Place
Sports are full of dynamic activity, so keeping a brace in place so it can do its job can be tough. This McDavid Sports Sleeve uses a contoured design that keeps it in place and prevents bunching. This prevents the need for constant readjustments mid game or match.
Completely Neoprene-Free
The specially designed elastane build of this McDavid Elbow Brace maintains high-performance and stretch without the use of neoprene. This reduces the chances of both skin irritation and overheating.
