This specialized Clavicle Correction offers an effective and comfortable alternative to traditional plaster casts for the fixation of the clavicle (collarbone) bone after fractures. Engineered to provide stable support and proper alignment, it is specifically designed to immobilize the clavicle, promoting optimal healing and reducing discomfort. By gently pulling the shoulders back and maintaining correct posture, this bandage ensures the fractured collarbone remains in the desired position, facilitating a smoother and more comfortable recovery process.
How to Use:
To properly apply the Clavicle Correction for effective clavicle fixation, first ensure your shoulders are gently pulled back to a comfortable, aligned position. Place the central pad of the bandage (often seen as a padded intersection or back piece) between your shoulder blades on your upper back. Guide each strap over your shoulders and under your armpits, then bring them back across your upper back and thread them through the designated buckles or loops on the central pad. Adjust the tension of the straps to achieve a firm yet comfortable fit that gently retracts your shoulders, ensuring the fractured clavicle is immobilized without causing excessive pressure or discomfort. Secure the straps firmly with their hook-and-loop fasteners. Always follow your healthcare professional’s specific instructions for positioning, duration of wear, and any recommended activity restrictions.
Why to Use:
This Clavicle Correction is an essential tool for effective and less restrictive management of collarbone fractures, offering numerous therapeutic advantages:
- Non-Plaster Fixation: Provides a comfortable and hygienic alternative to rigid plaster casts for clavicle immobilization, allowing for easier personal care and reducing skin irritation.
- Optimal Clavicle Immobilization: Securely fixes the clavicle bone in the correct anatomical position, which is paramount for promoting proper bone union after a fracture.
- Reduces Pain and Discomfort: By stabilizing the fractured collarbone and limiting unwanted movement, it significantly alleviates pain and discomfort experienced from the injury.
- Promotes Correct Posture: Gently retracts the shoulders, aiding in maintaining proper posture, which is beneficial for both healing and preventing secondary complications often associated with clavicle fractures.
- Accelerates Healing Process: By ensuring the fractured bone remains undisturbed, it creates an optimal environment that facilitates faster and more efficient bone recovery.
- User-Friendly Design: Designed for easier application and adjustment compared to traditional casts, making it more convenient for both patients and caregivers.
Recommended for: Ideal for patients diagnosed with clavicle (collarbone) fractures, individuals requiring postural correction related to shoulder alignment, and those seeking comfortable, non-invasive immobilization during their recovery.

How to Care:
To ensure the longevity and hygienic integrity of your Clavicle Correction, 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 material and fastening components. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue and gently squeeze out excess water (do not twist or wring). 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 bandage’s effectiveness and comfort throughout your recovery.
