Adjustable shoulder support designed to keep the arm close to the body
The shoulder immobilisation vest keeps the arm securely against the torso. It helps limit shoulder movement after an injury or surgery. Its supportive design also provides stable and comfortable immobilisation during recovery.
The shoulder immobilisation vest supports the arm in an elbow-to-body position. Therefore, it helps reduce movements that may place stress on the shoulder joint.
The vest wraps around the shoulder, arm and part of the chest. As a result, it provides more complete support than a standard arm sling. Its adjustable fastenings also make it easier to adapt the fit to the user’s body shape.
The anatomical shoulder section improves the position of the upper limb. In addition, it helps distribute support more evenly. The arm remains close to the body throughout the prescribed immobilisation period.
The lightweight and breathable material improves comfort during everyday use. However, the position of the arm and the tension of the fastenings should be checked regularly.
Depending on the design, the vest may be suitable for either the right or left shoulder. The duration of use depends on the injury, treatment and advice of the healthcare professional.

The choice of a shoulder immobilisation vest depends on the user’s body shape, the affected side and the required level of immobilisation. It also depends on the type of injury and the medical prescription.
