The Shoulder Sling vs. Traditional Medical Arm Sling Many people receive a “traditional” or “basic” sling after shoulder surgery or following a visit to the hospital or doctor. This shoulder strap will perform a similar task as those basic slings, but with many added benefits! Top 6 Best Advantages of This Rotator Cuff Sling Unique, Patented Design This design is the most versatile sling on the market. Truly a breakthrough in the orthopedic world, since it is the first sling that can be worn over your injured or non-injured side. This has many advantages for certain injuries and conditions, such as clavicle breaks, AC separations, dislocation, nerve issues, and more. The reason it helps with these conditions is in the fact that using the weight of your own arm, puts the right amount of pressure to stabilize the area. Along with the fact that most patients complain about their “good” side hurting due to the strap pressure from a traditional sling, now they can switch it from side to side. Plus, this brace leaves your elbow free! If you suffer from elbow bursitis, regular slings can irritate the elbow as you wear them. Non-Irritating to Neck and Shoulders Regular slings support your arm by putting pressure on the side of your neck, which after some wear can be painful and irritating. This strap moves that pressure over to your shoulder and can switch sides to your other shoulder so that one shoulder isn’t forced to support that burden alone. Cooler than Solid Slings The low-profile design is also much more freeing than an average, traditional sling. It leaves your arm uncovered to avoid overheating. Ideal for hot weather, working out and getting air to your injured arm or shoulder. Specially designed with all-day wear in mind, it is made of a soft elastic material, which is comfortable next to the skin. The elastic strap uses medical-grade fasteners and a heavy-duty metal buckle, ensuring they will hold strong throughout the day.
