Always Putting Our Patients First

. Before application, attach each strap to the closed end of the sling behind the elbow.
Gently slide the sling over your arm and elbow. Your elbow should be snugly placed in the
corner of the brace with your hand appearing at the open end of the sling.
2. Place your thumb through the loop located in the inside of the sling. By placing your
thumb through the loop your wrist and arm do not move and it helps prevent the arm
from dropping further. Make sure the end of the sling fabric does not cut into your wrist
or hand. If your entire hand hangs at your wrist, your sling may be too small or your elbow
is not positioned snugly in the corner. Adjust appropriately.
3. Take the strap behind the elbow at the top side of the cradle and wrap across back and
over the opposite shoulder. Feed it through the loop above your hand. Adjust by sliding
the cushioned padding along the strap so that it rests behind your neck, ensuring you will
not put any unnecessary strain on your neck muscles or spinal column.
4.
Tighten the straps so your hand and forearm are elevated above the level of your elbow.
This helps to prevent blood and fluid from pooling in your hand and wrist. Secure the
strap with the fasteners. Tighten or loosen the strap as necessary, so that you do not feel
as if all the pressure of holding your arm in place is emanating off your neck.
5. Lastly, pull the strap that goes around your back to keep the elbow close to the body and
fasten it to the ring below your hand. Make sure the strap is not too tight. You should be
able to fit two fingers between your body and the strap of the sling. Your sling should fit
comfortably and not feel binding or tight. Your shoulder, elbow, and wrist should feel like
they are in a relaxed position.
