Intended for people suffering from a partially or completely dislocated shoulder luxation. This often painful situation prevents proper functional use of the affected arm. The arm hangs from its capsule and ligaments and in time dislocates further and further.
With this brace, the upper arm pushes itself upwards, reducing tension on the joint capsule and tendons. The pain is relieved and the shoulder head brought back into its joint position again, regaining some of the arm functions.
Features:
- Effective neutralisation of shoulder subluxation.
- Regain some of the arm functions.
- Reduced chance on oedema formation in hand, fingers and forearm.
- Reduced pain and discomfort in arm and shoulder.
- No neck loading.
- Only minor limitation of arm mobility.
- Can be worn fully underneath clothing.
- High wearing comfort partly because of open and lightweight construction.
The shoulder strap can be washed as well as the wrist and elbow straps. Remove the straps of the orthosis. Make sure the Velcro is closed so that no fabric sticks to it. Use a washing bag to wash the straps at a temperature of up to 30° C. The rest of the orthosis can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
