Arm Slings

What is a sling?

A sling is a triangular cloth. You then tie this tightly around your neck. You can then slide your arm into this. The arm sling thus serves to give support to the hand, wrist or forearm. At Podobrace, we have another type of sling. Namely, the arm carrier. This has the same function as a sling, but offers better wearing comfort because, the strap that leans into the neck is a lot more comfortable. In addition, the arm carrier is easily adjustable in height. You can also put the arm carrier on quickly because you do not need to tie it first. Ideal right?

When do you use a sling?

The sling can be used when you have injuries to the hand, wrist, fingers or shoulders, or in combination with wearing plaster casts. Wearing an arm carrier is also highly recommended for immobilisation of the arm and forearm in case of inflammation. We also have a special night splint in the range. It is very comfortable to wear and has been specially developed for immobilisation of the shoulder joint during the night. This night splint is especially useful for bursitis, humeral fractures and post-operative immobilisation. Turning of the shoulder and wrist is no longer possible, as the arm is fully mobilised against the body.

A sling is advised if you suffer from any of the following complaints:

• Injury
• Bone fracture
• Bruising
• Muscle injury
• Sprain
