Medical indications:

• After shoulder surgery – to maintain shoulder fixation and support the recovery process.
• Shoulder immobilization – to prevent unwanted movement and promote stability during recovery.
• Fractures of the shoulder or collarbone – for fixation and support of the injured area.
• Tear or damage to ligaments or muscles – to keep the shoulder in a stable position and reduce strain on the damaged tissues.
• Other shoulder injuries – including tendonitis, rotator cuff tear, or injuries resulting from accidents.
• Preventing excessive movements – in situations that require complete rest or reducing the load on the shoulder.

Size selection:

• Before purchasing, measure the circumference of your shoulder and upper arm and choose the appropriate size (S, M, L, XL, XXL) according to the size chart.

• Make sure the product is fully open and all straps are loose.
• Choose whether to use the right or left hand support as needed.

• Place the center belt around your upper abdomen and close it with the clasp.
• Tighten the grips on the wrist and lower arm, as shown in the picture.
• Pull the tension strap from the top strap, back towards the opposite shoulder and then down to the center belt.
• The wrist strap attaches to the central belt using Velcro.

• Use the support as directed by your doctor or physical therapist.
• It is recommended to remove the support while showering and clean the skin in the fixation area.

• The support should be cleaned with lukewarm water and mild soap.
• Dry in a shady, airy place before further use.
• Do not use a washing machine or dryer.

• The use of the hand sling should be carried out in accordance with the instructions of a medical authority.
• It is recommended to use a sling for limited periods of time; immobilizing the shoulder for weeks may cause shortening of the muscles and ligaments.
• If there is no relief from the pain, or swelling and pain that were not there before occur, it is recommended to consult your therapist to consider additional or different treatment.
• If you choose to undergo treatment using our hand sling, it is recommended to perform appropriate physical activity at the same time. Below are some recommended basic exercises: - While sitting or standing, shrug your shoulders back and hold for 10 seconds. - Gently rotate your neck in all directions for a minute. - Do exercises to strengthen your abdominal and back muscles. Strong abdominal and back muscles allow for better movement in your arms and legs. - Rotate your wrist in all directions that do not cause pain for 5 minutes.
