When you suffer a fracture in the shoulders, wrists or elbows, the most recommended is the use of a sling for protection and comfort. Immobilizers help keep the arm immobilized, not allowing it to move too much, helping the healing process.
This arm immobilizer is a device used to contain and stabilize the scapula-humeral joint. It is comfortable to wear, since it is made with a technical fabric in a 3D panel, thus providing the user with a comfortable, light and breathable sensation.
The orthosis is made up of two parts: firstly, it is made up of a 3D bag for the correct position of the elbow and forearm. Secondly, it has a fixing band that allows the height of the forearm to be adjusted. Finally, this orthosis is symmetrical or ambidextrous and can be used interchangeably on both upper limbs.
Choosing the right size of the sling is a fundamental aspect to obtain the therapeutic efficacy of the product and to guarantee its useful life. In addition, this immobilizer sling is very easy to use, since we simply have to open the 3D panel bag and position the user's forearm inside the bag, in such a way that the user places the elbow in the closed part of the orthosis and the hand in the open part. Afterwards, the suspension band must be passed over the opposite shoulder to the side that we are treating and regulate the height or flexion that is necessary.
Finally, this sling for dislocations is designed for prolonged, daily and constant use, since its maintenance is very simple. To do this, the clip hook must be closed to wash it. It should be washed with neutral soap at a temperature of approximately 30ºC. Allow dry cleaning, with caution, with perchlorethylene. Do not use bleach or abrasive products, or tumble dry or iron. If the product is not well wrung out, product residues can cause skin irritation or damage the device. When the product is not used, it should be stored in a dry place, protected from light and humidity. For the disposal of the container and the product, follow the regulations of your community.
This immobilizing sling is indicated for the recovery of shoulder subluxations, minor shoulder injuries in which shoulder immobilization and forearm support are necessary, post-surgical or post-traumatic immobilization treatments and shoulder and arm trauma that require reduction for treatment. of mobility.
