How they work on muscles and tendons ?
I had medial epicondylitis (golfers elbow) half a year ago and doctor said to me that it would be good to get those.
Does anybody here have experience with those things ?

yes and they work. Get the ace elbow wrap.
What do these look like? I had some elbow issues as well.

I have a few that are just neoprene sleeves covering the elbows. In case of golfer's elbow they seem to provide pain relief and heat, and shortening the recovery period (my experience, n=1).
I have never used them during workouts, however, as I think that would be a slippery slope. You shouldn't need an aid to be able to complete your training goals.
A neoprene sleeve might give you some sort of proprioceptive feedback, but the brace for tendinopathy would be a counterforce brace. You put it on just distal to the medial/lateral epicondyle to take load off the tendon origin. If it works for you, great, they tend to be hit or miss.
