Adjustable arm sling designed to support the arm and restrict shoulder movement
This shoulder immobilisation sling is designed to support the arm and keep the elbow close to the body. It helps restrict shoulder movement during recovery after an injury, surgery or according to the recommendations of a healthcare professional.
The shoulder immobilisation sling supports the upper limb and keeps the arm close to the torso. It helps restrict shoulder movement while supporting the elbow, forearm and hand.
It consists of an arm support and an adjustable strap that passes around the torso. This strap reinforces immobilisation by keeping the elbow close to the body and can be adjusted according to the user’s anatomy and the required level of support.
A thumb support helps keep the hand in a more comfortable position and distributes the weight of the arm more evenly. Its lightweight and compact design makes the sling easier to wear during the prescribed period of use.
The soft materials in contact with the body help improve comfort. The straps should be checked regularly to prevent excessive pressure around the neck, shoulder or chest.
The affected side, arm position and duration of immobilisation should be determined according to the injury and the recommendations of a doctor, physiotherapist or another healthcare professional.
At OrthoGreen Mobility, an orthopaedic bandagist and medical equipment store in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Brussels, we assist you in choosing and adjusting an immobilisation sling suited to your anatomy, prescription and required level of support.

The choice of a shoulder immobilisation sling depends on the affected side, the user’s anatomy, the type of injury and the required level of immobilisation.
The arm should be properly supported, and the strap should keep the elbow close to the body without causing excessive pressure, neck pain or numbness in the hand.
Our team can advise you in our store in Molenbeek-Brussels and help check the size, arm position, strap adjustment and overall comfort of the sling.
