The Infra Cubital Elbow Brace (specifically from Infracare) is a specialized orthopedic support designed to manage Cubital Tunnel Syndrome and Ulnar Nerve Entrapment. Unlike general elbow sleeves, this brace is engineered to prevent the deep elbow flexion (bending) that pinches the ulnar nerve—the “funny bone” nerve—allowing it to rest and heal.
Infra Cubital Elbow Brace | Targeted Ulnar Nerve Relief
Wake Up Without the Tingling.
Tired of waking up with “pins and needles” in your ring and pinky fingers? The Infra Cubital Elbow Brace is your first line of defense against Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. By maintaining your elbow at a neutral, optimal angle during sleep or repetitive activity, this brace reduces the mechanical tension on your ulnar nerve. It’s low-profile, breathable, and designed specifically to stop the irritation before it starts.
Key Features
-
Anatomical Neutral Positioning: Holds the elbow at a 30°–45° angle, the clinically recommended position to maximize the space in the cubital tunnel and reduce nerve compression.
-
Malleable Aluminum Stay: Features a hidden, adjustable metal stay that can be custom-contoured to your specific arm shape for a personalized fit.
-
Infra-Red / Breathable Fabric Technology: Built with Infracare’s signature materials that promote circulation while ensuring the joint doesn’t overheat during the night.
-
Low-Profile Ventral Design: The slim construction is “bed-friendly,” meaning it won’t snag on sheets or feel bulky when you’re trying to sleep.
-
Universal Wrap System: Equipped with high-tension hook-and-loop straps that allow for a “one size fits most” application on either the left or right arm.
Benefits for Ulnar Nerve Health
-
Nerve Decompression: Physically prevents the “hyper-flexing” of the elbow that causes numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand.
-
Improved Sleep Quality: Eliminates the need to sleep on your hands or tuck your arms tightly, allowing you to rest without waking up to painful nerve flares.
-
Non-Surgical Management: An effective, non-invasive way to manage symptoms of ulnar nerve entrapment before they require more serious medical intervention.
-
Soft-Edge Comfort: Unlike rigid plastic splints, the soft-bound edges prevent skin digging and “brace fatigue” during 8+ hours of wear.

FAQ
Q: Should I wear this brace during the day or only at night?
A: Most users find the greatest benefit wearing it at night, as we often subconsciously curl our arms while sleeping. However, it can be worn during the day if you perform repetitive tasks (like typing or driving) that cause your symptoms to flare.
Q: How do I know if it’s too tight?
A: You should be able to slide one finger comfortably under the straps. If you feel increased throbbing or a “pulsing” sensation, loosen the straps immediately to ensure proper circulation.
