Short Description
Protect against re-injury with the Breg HEX Elbow Brace, the professional standard for elbow hyperextension protection. Ideal for football, wrestling, and basketball, the HEX uses adjustable hinges to physically block overextension. Whether treating a dislocation or tendonitis, this hinged elbow brace provides the rigid stability needed to play with confidence.
The Breg HEX Elbow Brace is more than a standard compression sleeve; it is a professional-grade brace designed to control range of motion and protect against elbow hyperextension during high-level activities. By combining medical-grade stabilization with a low-profile design, it has become the gold standard for high-school and collegiate football linemen and wrestlers who cannot afford a season-ending injury.
Advanced Material Science: Airmesh® meets Neoprene
One of the standout features of the HEX is its hybrid construction. The half-Airmesh® panels allow for maximum airflow, which is critical for preventing skin irritation in hot, humid weather or under heavy football pads. The half-neoprene side provides the therapeutic compression needed to reduce swelling and increase joint awareness (proprioception). This ensures the brace stays comfortable throughout a four-quarter game or a full day of practice.
Precision Range of Motion (ROM) Control
The adjustable hinges allow a medical professional or trainer to set specific extension limits (0° to 40°) and flexion limits (45° to 90°) in 10-degree increments. The adjustable stops provide a mechanical stop for the elbow joint. The "X" anterior strapping system works in tandem with the metal hinge bars, creating a tension-lock that prevents the elbow from snapping back into a hyperextended position during an impact.
