The McDavid 489 Dual Band Elbow Strap is an adjustable elbow support designed to provide targeted pressure around the elbow while supporting the surrounding soft tissue. It uses dual Sorbothane® pads, latex-free 1.5 mm neoprene and adjustable hook and loop closures, making it a practical option for light activity and all-day wear.
The two Sorbothane® pads are positioned to provide targeted, pain-relieving pressure around the elbow. This focused pressure is designed to help relieve elbow discomfort while providing support during everyday activity or light sporting use.
The strap is made from 100% latex-free 1.5 mm neoprene (CR), excluding the binding, strap, pads and cover fabric. The neoprene construction provides compression and thermal support while remaining flexible enough for comfortable wear.
Getting the strap positioned correctly is straightforward. The adjustable hook and loop closures allow you to control the fit and pressure, while the flat-seam construction is designed to provide a contoured fit with reduced seam bulk. The strap can be worn on either the left or right arm and is unisex.
The McDavid 489 uses an exclusive five-needle stitch construction, producing a flatter, cleaner seam with added strength. This is useful for a support that is intended to be worn regularly rather than only occasionally.
For care, wash in warm water with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly and drip dry. Do not machine dry or dry clean. Regular washing is recommended to help keep the support clean and reduce the build-up of body salts that can irritate the skin.
WHO IS THE MCDAVID 489 BEST FOR?
The McDavid 489 is best suited to customers looking for an adjustable elbow strap that provides targeted pressure, compression and soft tissue support during light activity or extended daily wear. It can be used on either arm and is designed for both men and women.
WHAT SHOULD YOU CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING?
The McDavid 489 is specifically designed around targeted elbow support and light activity or all-day use.
