When you have a fractured shoulder, or a fractured wrist or elbow, you may be recommended to wear an Shoulder Sling. In case of fracture, no matter of which body part, it is very essential not to move that part of your body to ensure proper healing of the bone. As said earlier, the arm sling helps your arm to keep it in place against your body and that helps in faster healing.

The shoulder sling works by immobilising the arm and shoulder by raising the arm and restricting its movement. The arm sits within a material based sling attached to a strap which loops round the patient’s neck to help elevate the arm. The strap can be adjusted manually depending on the patient’s height and arm length, but a professional will always set this before you leave the hospital to ensure that it is fitted accurately.

The hook loop closures ensure optimal compression, and make application and removal easy.Tynor Restrainer built-in opening for thumb abduction that offers better pain relief and ensures that the thumb remains relaxed.
