This advanced Arm Sling with 30° Cushion is precisely engineered specifically designed to provide essential post-operative immobilization and support for complex shoulder injuries. Its primary function is to maintain the arm at a critical 30 degrees of abduction, a position vital for optimal healing and recovery. This specialized sling is specifically indicated for rigorous post-operative immobilization following treatments such as rotator cuff repairs and Bankart procedures for recurrent shoulder dislocations. It ensures the shoulder joint is perfectly aligned and fully protected, allowing for an undisturbed healing environment.
How to Use:
To properly apply the Arm Sling with Cushion 30°. for effective immobilization, first position the abduction cushion against your torso, typically under the injured arm, ensuring it creates the prescribed 30-degree angle. Place your injured arm into the sling’s main pocket, ensuring your elbow rests comfortably and your hand is supported. Secure the waist strap around your torso, attaching it to the cushion and the sling to hold the cushion firmly in place and prevent arm adduction. Next, bring the main shoulder strap over your unaffected shoulder and across your back, connecting it securely to the front of the sling. Adjust all straps to achieve a snug fit that completely immobilizes the arm and shoulder in the abducted position, without causing discomfort or restricting circulation. Always adhere strictly to your surgeon’s or physical therapist’s specific instructions for positioning, duration of wear, and any follow-up care.
Why to Use:
This Arm Sling with Cushion 30°. is a crucial component in the rehabilitation of specific, complex shoulder injuries, offering highly specialized benefits:
- Precise 30-Degree Abduction: Uniquely designed to maintain the arm at a specific 30-degree abducted position, which is paramount for optimal healing and tension reduction in tissues after specific shoulder surgeries like rotator cuff repairs.
- Targeted Post-Operative Immobilization: Essential for rigorous post-operative care following critical procedures such as rotator cuff treatments and Bankart repairs for recurrent shoulder dislocations, ensuring the surgical site remains undisturbed.
- Enhanced Rotator Cuff Healing: By keeping the arm in optimal abduction, it reduces strain on the repaired rotator cuff tendons, facilitating proper reattachment and recovery.
- Prevents Recurrent Dislocation: Crucially supports the shoulder joint after Bankart procedures, minimizing the risk of re-dislocation by maintaining a stable, protected position.
- Reduces Pain and Swelling: Provides consistent, stable support that significantly alleviates post-operative pain and helps reduce swelling around the surgical site, contributing to greater patient comfort.
- Accelerates Structured Rehabilitation: Creates the necessary stable environment for early, controlled rehabilitation exercises, laying the foundation for a faster and more effective return to function.

How to Care:
To ensure the longevity and hygienic integrity of your Arm Sling with Cushion 30 Deg., hand wash it gently in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach, harsh chemical cleaners, or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the materials and potentially damage the integrity of the cushion. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue and gently squeeze out excess water (do not twist or wring). Allow the sling and cushion to air dry completely on a flat surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron, as these methods can compromise the material’s integrity, shape, and supportive properties. Proper care will help maintain the sling’s effectiveness and comfort throughout your critical recovery period.
Material:
This Arm Sling with 30° Cushion. is meticulously crafted from durable, comfortable, and specialized materials designed for secure, precise immobilization. The typical composition includes:
- Main Sling Fabric: A robust breathable fabric medical foam-laminated textile, polyester/nylon, providing sturdy support for the arm and forearm.
- Abduction Cushion: A semi-rigid medical foam cushion, covered with a breathable fabric, specifically shaped to maintain the arm at a 30-degree abducted angle from the body.
- Shoulder and Waist Straps: Durable webbing straps, usually made from strong nylon/polypropylene, with robust hook-and-loop fasteners (e.g., Velcro) and possibly quick-release buckles. The waist strap is key to securing the abduction cushion.
- Padding: Strategic padding, especially on the shoulder strap and areas contacting the neck, is incorporated for enhanced patient comfort during prolonged wear.
- Thumb Loop: Include a thumb loop made from a soft fabric webbing to prevent the hand from dropping and provide additional comfort.
