Prevent Scratching Face, Thumb Sucking Habit, Pulling IV Tubes Elbow Immobilizer Splint & Arm Restraint Wrap for Babies Kids-Prevent HAND-TO-FACE habits (Small)

I can never usually find the time to review items the way I wish I could but I’m making sure I do for this one!! My son had his cleft palate repair surgery this month and these have worked really well for us. We are using them to avoid hands and toys in the mouth while he recovers. I’m honestly not sure why they have such low ratings so I wanted to bring some positive awareness to them. I will start off by saying they don’t have any kind of helpful sizing chart so I did order an extra small pair and a small pair just because I didn’t really know what to expect as far as sizing. For reference my son is 1 year old, 23 pounds and 27 inches long. Both the extra small and the small fit him fine but we have preferred using the extra small because they take up less room on his arm while offering the same amount of bending resistance as the size small. In my attached photo my son has on the extra small pair. The hospital did provide us with a pair of hospital grade no no’s but my son runs naturally hot and would have damp arms from sweating so bad under them so I set out to find a better pair. I wasn’t met with a ton of options on Amazon so I just went with this pair and I’m really glad I did. They have two strong Velcro straps on each brace, one on the top and one on the bottom. There’s also gaps of open space throughout the brace that leaves breathing room so they aren’t getting super hot. We have been doing a long sleeve pj most days and just Velcro these on top of the shirt. We’ve had no issues with him sliding them off or them being too tight and he honestly doesn’t even really mind having them on. He has not had any problems with them leaving bruises or hurtful marks like other reviewers have stated. We put the center of the brace at his elbow and strap it in place there and it’s done its job nicely. I would definetely recommend these.

Worked great for our daughter that had her first surgery for her cleft. The Velcro part is pretty sharp on the corners but we just put them on with the Velcro on the bottom.

My son had a cleft lip and palate repair and is not allowed to touch his face while he recovers. The one’s from the hospital were itchy, scratchy, bulky, and constantly fell off. These ones stay on and are much more comfortable. They gave him more movement but still prevented him from injuring his surgical sites.

Works as expected

It fell apart within the first two weeks. My son is an 8 yr old autistic child. Was looking for something to keep him from hitting himself, this product didn’t work.

These are very nice quality. Soft fabric and Velcro stays fastened.

Compré este inmovilizador para evitar que mi hijo se chupe los dedos. Al principio parecía funcionar bien, pero al poco tiempo notamos que le estaba haciendo demasiada presión en el brazo. A pesar de ajustar el velcro, hacía tanta fuerza para liberarse que el brazo se le puso morado. Es importante revisarlo constantemente y no dejarlo puesto sin supervisión. La idea del producto es buena, pero no funciona igual de bien en niños que se resisten mucho.

Excellent, bought it for my son's cleft lip and palate surgery to prevent him from putting his hands in his mouth and it worked well
