Additional Details

Arm weight alone can contribute to painful subluxation during the rehabilitation of conditions such as CVA, post-humeral fracture, brachial plexus injury, and shoulder-girdle weakness/flaccidity. Conventional slings lack the ability to adequately offload the humeral joint while retaining ROM and prevent potential contracture. The AliMed Hemi-Shoulder Sling uses a shoulder saddle to offload the shoulder and humeral joint subluxing forces and transfer the weight of the arm to the scapula while maintaining full ROM and preventing potential contracture. The gusseted inside panel fully adjusts to fluctuations in edema and aids with donning/doffing while the three adjustable fixation straps allow for correction of muscle imbalance and internal or external rotation as needed. Biceps-triceps belly-band locks cuff in place for security. Wear over or under clothing.
