Don't know if it would help, but I use the Titan RPM wraps and they're good for stopping the wrist excessively flexing when pressing.

The general consensus is that is is inflammation/irritation of the ligaments in the elbow from a repetitive action, however recently i was reading that many believe it to be caused by overuse from gripping an implement of small circumference (barbell, paintbrush, tennis racquet etc).
The suggestion of lifting straps would be to use less of your grip.
Wrist wraps wouldnt be of any benefit to the injury in my opinion.
Also look into training with a Fat Bar or use grip4orce grips (barbell of 2 inch+ circumference) for a while or incorporating it into your training.

I don't mean to try and overplug my products, just recommending based on what i have been researching.

All the best.
