Medical Shoulder Abduction Sling with Two Removable Pillows, L

This sling is overall a better fit than the one received after my husband’s shoulder surgery. The strap under the arm and the thinner pad on the neck really takes the pressure off the neck making the sling more comfortable during the day and for sleeping. The hand sports ball is really hard and there’s no way to exercise your hand with it being solid. It was easy to remove. There is a learning curve to putting it on and can be a bit of trouble to not get the straps twisted. Having the two abduction pads is really nice if the arm needs to be held at a higher angle. For some reason the excess end of the waist strap was sewn to the pillow so it could not be lengthened. I easily snipped the stitches to make the strap longer.

Superior product, superior materials, ultra superior fit and function after a 2nd shoulder surgery. What the hospital provided interrupted ant sleep more that about 20 to 25 minutes. you cant recover from this kind of surgery on 20 minutes of sleep. Last night, i fell asleep in about 10 minutes and slept in the recliner 4 hours. Got up went to bed, 6 hours of sleep. That's the difference. All the weight of stable support on on my good shoulder and off my neck

For those who suffered severe Grades II & III clavicle fracture and shoulder injury, this is your saving grace for easing up your pains as well as your neck strain from the cheaper version of slings. Do yourself a favor and purchase this over the other ones. Here are the reasons, based on my own recent personal injuries and our other family members' past injuries. Adjustability: Most people wearing slings don't understand the necessities to have proper adjustability. The main adjustability we need to look for to ease up the burden of the impact areas is the shoulder strap, specifically, the neck strap. If you cannot have a wide range of adjustability to reduce the amount of weight pressure the injured side placing on the impact site, you're engaging the muscle groups that supposedly required to be isolated to allow the injured site to heal properly. When you have a Grade III clavical fracture, this is quite relevant. Comfort: This speaks for itself. Cheap slings dig into your neck. Even padded slings provided by the clinics and hospitals still dig into your neck. For higher quality Figure-8 sling type with the pad but only have one strap, you're placing so much stress on the neck and opposite shoulder that you need want to throw away sling within 4 hours of wearing. This sling actually generated 4 zone of pressure reduction. I'm astounded on the evolution of design to reach this point. First is the neck strain relief. The second is the should strain relief. Third is the reduction of pressure with the two added pads for adduction positioning. The last is the isolation provided by the 3-point harness from the designs. 3 days of cheap slings wearing and I couldn't even breath properly, with constant pains around my neck and shoulder. With this, I was able to achieve plenty of relief for my breathing and the injured site instantly. Just one thing to be mindful about. The mesh material is breathable. When I say breathable, it's means for the areas of your body touching the mesh. However, you will get a rash at the fold of your arm. There's hardly any airflow going into this zone. You will sweat and you will have a rash. Do yourself a favor and get a high wicking arm/elbow sleeve to prevent rash, or just a light wrap around the fold using a flexible bandage.

Except for waist band being too short (large size is about 40 in max} it is a big improvement over regular sling.

While this was a necessary purchase, I expected it to be a bit more user friendly. It does serve it's purpose and is generally comparable to other durable medical equipment on the market. This is a good product for the price point.

Update: im out if the sling now, and it held up to a lot of wear and tear. I cannot recommend this more! Ok, I almost didn't order this due to some of the reviews that said it didn't fit people with curves, but I was pretty desperate after the hospital-provided sling after my rotator cuff surgery did not fit well and seriously cut into my neck. I'm a bigger girl (size 22) and this fit with room to spare! In short: I am SO GLAD I ORDERED THIS! Pros: the design took some of the pressure off my neck, the waist strap was WAY more comfy than the hospital provided sling, and it was cooler than the sling I was sent home with. Cons: the material inside of the sling was a bit scratchy (I cut off the sleeve of a tshirt and wore it inside the sling) the waist strap was long and tended to get caught on things, a little "holder' like on a belt might help with that. All in all, this was a win at about 1/3 of the price of the one from the hospital. I can't wait to retire it forever at 12 weeks from surgery! Happy healing.

decent but has some major design flaws it is airy so much cooler than the horrible DeRoyal arm sling i was using the ball too hard but you can remove it and the metal bar it attached to but the way shoulder strap attaches to front of sling is highly flawed and need to be designed uses velcro (stupid) which is weak and scratchyi had to put Gorilla tape over it a double sided sling is a bad idea. because it does not work nearly as well for left arms you probably will want to use long sleeves with it as it scratchy on both sides of the sling. the pockets on it were stupid and make it scratchy it would have been much better if they built dedicated ones for left and right arms the dual arm design approach results in SUB-OPTIMAL product with unfixable flaws for left arm basically it’s itchy and dedicated arm designs would have avoided that also they needs to way to keep the middle of sling together let a velcro strap. i used a metal paper binder the buckle at front uses velcro to old it on for one side which was not secure and i had to use gorilla tape to keep in place i would not recommend for left arm and i not sure i would even use for right arm due the design flaws

After shoulder replacement I was supposed to wear a immobilizer around the clock. This filled that purpose but was extremely difficult and complicated to put on. I was unable to do that by myself. There must be immobilizer easier to use out there! I don’t recommend this product.
