Universal Shoulder Immobilizer
     The CURED Universal Shoulder Immobilizer (Sling and swathe) offers maximum support and comfort and is designed specifically to help eliminate unwanted shoulder, clavicle and arm movements by stabilizing the forearm against the torso. It can be used for right or left shoulder injury and works by helping to immobilize the shoulder and collar bone joints to allow a comfortable healing position for joint and soft tissue recovery. It is useful in rehabilitation, as it helps reduce stress around the entire shoulder complex and encourages correct alignment of the joint for healing by stabilizing the forearm against the body.

Features:

• Secures arm against the body and restricts the mobility of the shoulder and upper arm for separations, dislocations,

strains and other injuries.

• Adjustable hook and loop closures allow swathe to be positioned in the desired location.
• May be used as an arm sling if swathe is not desired.
• Adjustable straps provide a customisable fit.
• Comfortable lightweight material.
• Universal design fits right or left arm.
