It seems that patients come up with new ways to injure their bones and joints every day, whether through over-ambitious workouts or simply accidents and falls. American Screening has the braces and splints you need to help protect your patients’ painful joints and gradually get back to healthy (and gentler!) exercise.

Braces and splints are medical devices that are used to support and protect injured or weak body parts. These devices provide stability and help in the healing process. Braces and splints come in various sizes and designs to cater to different body parts and injuries. They are commonly used for the wrist, ankle, knee, and back.

One type of brace commonly used is the elbow strap. Elbow straps are designed to provide support and relieve pain for individuals suffering from conditions such as tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow. These conditions are caused by repetitive arm movements, which can lead to inflammation and pain in the tendons of the elbow. Elbow straps work by applying pressure to the affected area, which helps to alleviate pain and prevent further injury. They are typically made of elastic material and are adjustable to provide a comfortable fit.

Another type of brace commonly used is the boot. Boots are used to immobilize and protect the foot and ankle after an injury or surgery. They are commonly prescribed for conditions such as fractures, sprains, or Achilles tendonitis. Boots are designed to provide support and prevent further injury by restricting movement of the foot and ankle. They are typically made of a rigid material and have adjustable straps to ensure a secure fit. Boots also often have a cushioned sole for added comfort during walking or weight-bearing activities.
