INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The brace is initially configured to fit the patient’s right shoulder. To configure for the left shoulder, release both buckles at the forearm cuff. Rotate the sling and shoulder strap 180 degrees and reattach both buckles.
NOTE: Ensure the front shoulder strap is not twisted before reattaching the buckles.
Release the front buckle clasp on the shoulder strap where the strap attaches to the forearm cuff on the sling.
Remove the thumb and forearm straps to completely open the sling.
Place the affected arm in sling so it rests comfortably in the fold of the sling. Ensure the patient’s elbow is seated as far back in the folded pocket of the sling as possible. The sling should extend to the first joint of the pinky finger. NOTE: Ensure all open wounds are covered before applying the device.
Sling length can be adjusted by removing the forearm cuff and securing in desired position.
Note: Attach forearm cuff towards elbow pocket to make sling shorter and away from elbow pocket to make it longer.
Reattach the front buckle on the shoulder strap to the receiving buckle attachment located on the forearm cuff of the sling. Reattach the forearm and thumb straps on the sling. Note: If desired, rest the thumb on an adjustable thumb strap for additional comfort.
Shoulder strap length can be adjusted at both ends of the strap. To adjust the front of the shoulder strap, remove the Y-tab, trim strap todesired length and reapply Y-tab. To adjust the back of the shoulder strap, simply release the hook strap and reattach at the desired length. NOTE: The shoulder pad should be positioned evenly over the non-affected shoulder for comfort.
Align the foam block at waistline on the patient’s affected side. Attach arm sling to the foam block by securing hook and loop portions together.
Detach the buckle at end of the foam block. Place waist strap around patient’s waist and fasten buckle. To adjust the strap length, pull the waist strap for a secure fit. Attach Y-tab hook end back onto the strap. Note: If strap is too long, remove Y-tab and trim the strap to desired, length. The position of the foam block may be adjusted by sliding the block forward or backward along the waistline to achieve the desired external or internal rotation. If the foam block can be pushed downward with pressure, the waist strap should be tightened. A stress ball is included to promote proper circulation and encourage exercise.
