Dimensions
Extended description
Planning and design:
The sling is designed to support the weight of the forearm and arm while protecting the neck muscles. It is designed so that the weight-bearing strap passes over the opposite shoulder without placing stress on the neck. The sling keeps the forearm close to the body, with an even weight distribution and a secure position while keeping the shoulder in internal rotation, which relieves the ligaments of the joint.
Pain reduction:
The support of the sling reduces muscle work in the shoulder, arm, and forearm. Reducing muscle work relieves pain in the acute phase of the injury. The sling is not a fixation, but rather a primary protection. Its use provides a reminder to reduce the amount of movement and signals to those around you that you have pain in your hand, and that you should be careful around you.
Rehabilitation and recovery:
Reducing muscle work in the area of the injury allows for optimal positioning of the various bones and structures in the hand, and therefore results in better recovery of fractures, sprains, and acute injuries.
User manual
