Which Shoulder Support Is Right for You?

Choose a Shoulder Sling If:

You mainly need support for the weight of your forearm and do not require strict restriction of shoulder movement.

Choose a Shoulder Immobilizer If:

You need greater control of shoulder and upper-arm movement and need to keep the arm closer to the torso.

Choose an Abduction Sling If:

Your surgeon has instructed you to keep the shoulder positioned away from the body at a specific angle following surgery.

Note: Always follow your physician, surgeon, or physical therapist's instructions when selecting shoulder support.
