Sizing & Measuring Instructions

To achieve the correct clinical compression and "Zero-Friction" support, accurate sizing is required. Please follow these measuring guidelines:

How to Measure: Use a flexible tape measure to determine the circumference of the chest at its widest point. This measurement ensures the swathe fits securely around the torso to prevent arm swinging.

• Small: Specialized for smaller frames and pediatric use.
• Medium: Fits standard adult chest circumferences.
• Large: Designed for broader torsos and larger frames.

Clinical Features & Benefits

• Dual-Strap Weight Distribution: The over-the-shoulder harness crosses the upper back, preventing the neck strain common with traditional single-strap slings.
• Universal Arm Configuration: The open-swathe design is fully reversible, providing identical clinical support for either the left or right arm.
• Integrated Spinal Padding: Features soft padding along the upper spine to reduce pressure on the vertebrae during extended immobilization.
• 90-Degree Fixation: Holds the humerus securely at a right angle to the torso, decreasing pressure on tendons and the shoulder blade for optimal healing.
• Easy Side-Closure System: Designed for "Zero-Friction" application, the vest-style closure allows caregivers to secure the patient quickly and comfortably.

By combining firm humerus support with soft spinal padding, this immobilizer manages the delicate balance between rigid restriction and patient comfort. It is frequently prescribed for conditions where any incidental arm movement could jeopardize the surgical repair or rehabilitation progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear this over my regular clothes?

How does this differ from a standard arm sling?
Unlike a standard sling, this "sling and swathe" combo includes a wrap that goes around the torso. This prevents the arm from swinging away from the body, ensuring the shoulder remains completely immobilized.

Is this suitable for children?
Yes, the Small size is often appropriate for children and adolescents, providing the same high-level stabilization as the adult versions.
