After surgery in younger children it is very difficult to keep them from damaging the sensitive surgical site(s) by putting their hands in their mouth.
Might I suggest The Bamboo Brace as a flexible and more user friendly alternative to more stiff and rigid elbow restraints. Although I developed it for rehab purposes in children with other diagnoses such as cerebral palsy, many parents have found it to be very effective during the delicate healing period from oral-facial surgery.
By selecting the perfect amount of resistance with the interchangeable/flexible stays, parents can still give the children an amazing amount of use of the arms/hands while still just keeping them out of their mouths for a few weeks.
