Common Questions about DAFO E1 Banana Peel
E1 Banana Peel is designed for patients who need durable, long-term elbow positioning rather than an adjustable range-of-motion orthosis.
No. The E1 Banana Peel is a fixed-position orthosis, so the elbow angle is set at the time of fabrication and does not change afterward.
The desired angle of elbow flexion or extension is specified when the orthosis is ordered and is built into the brace during fabrication.
Each orthosis is custom fabricated from a patient cast so it matches the individual’s anatomy and prescribed positioning requirements.
The orthosis uses a moderately pliable plastic shell, closed-cell foam bicep and forearm cuffs, and secure Velcro strap closures to support comfort during extended wear.
Yes. The orthosis can be ordered with either an anterior or posterior opening, depending on the patient’s needs and access requirements.
No. It is not intended for dynamic elbow motion training or progressive range adjustments. Its purpose is to maintain a fixed position consistently over time.
