Mueller elbow devices contain Neoprene, which is an elastic and form-fitting synthetic rubber material. It stretches to conform to pain, its soft cushioning thickness and density absorbs body shock. The strength and stability of this material makes it a durable and flexible pain alternative. Neoprene's ability to retain heat allows supports to offer soothing therapeutic warmth.

Neoprene contains air packets which provide excellent insulation that can withstand cold temperature and exposure to sun. The ease of use of this product is the nylon backing on one or both sides, making the material easier to put on, as well as comfortable against the skin. Neoprene is commercially manufactured, made using special sewing and seam-sealing techniques.

Doing anything that involves extending your wrist or even rotating your forearm, eg.twisting a screwdriver or lifting heavy objects with your palm down, can cause tissue in the elbow tendon to become inflamed or injured. In addition, tissue in the elbow area may become inflamed with age. The elbow may swell, get red or feel warm to touch, and gripping things may become a challenge – or even turning or swinging your arm.
