New Soles Medical Arm Sling Shoulder Immobilizing Velpeau Bandage (Adult)

This was so "Turkey" made.. but someone had a great idea and what people with a painful shoulder need. Please follow these instructions bc they ain't givin' ya ANY! It came in a clear plastic bag. That's IT. Ya pull out this blankety feeling thing and see how LONG the straps are, but do.not.panic. I actually bagged it right back up to send back.. But then I read some reviews that sounded legitimately helpful. So here I go with mine:1. Sit aside the LONG solo strap.. it's last step. The 'shirt part' with the long band of velcro is your 'sleeve'. Put it around your arm for a custom fit. I like to make mine more narrow at wrist and fit snug on my arm. Then I can slip it on and off and not mess with all that velcro again.2. Place straps ( with your new custom cuff) over shoulders. Crisscross to bring and attach to front.I actually like my wrist lower than elbow so I velcro accordingly to make that happen. Super snug and comfy!!3. If you want to use that lonnnnng strap, I found a GREAT way to use it, too! I even sleep with this on, bc it's amazing and your arm does not hurt all night bc it slightly moved too far!! Hold one end at center of chest and meet with the other going UNDER the opposite are that has no issue...pull tight and velcro.It really is an ingenious thing somebody's loving family member made!! Your welcome. ♥︎

Amazingly great deal and super customozable.First those asking about size, this will fit 99% of people out there from smallest to largest other than largest 1% of chest sizes. I wear 50 inch sport coat [actual chest is approx 48 inch & I have very long arms] and this works very well for me. The separate wrap strap is 52 inches when not used but it [& rest of brace] stretches and has velcro on both ends of the strap so you do not need have it wrap onto self. Sometimes I stick ends to the brace. And I am wrapping that strap around then outside of injured shoulder arm.Brace is SUPER COMFY & ADJUSTABLE! Even with just one "good" arm, pretty easily I can get it on alone but you might need be clever depending where you are using it & which end start with. Of corse if have a helper ther really easy to put on.I NEEDED NEW sling since both slings I got from MD [one free & sadly had to pay for other] after my rotator cuff surgery caused NECK MUSCLE SPASMS due to single strap design pulling on opposite side neck. Double crossing straps on this are wonderful & easily can adjust how tight or loose fit you may want.Plus very easy to velcro a pillow [or I use a memory foam travel beck pillow] with this sling as well as I sometimes use just the pillow part from my doctor provided sling together with this.This is so useful I'm likely buying more as it also works great to hold heat or ice pack in place and more than just shoulder. So useful can improvise using this or part or it for virtually anywhere on your body!STOP SHOPPING, BUY ONE OR MORE OF THESE NOW AS THIS IS ALL YOU NEED! Save money but more so enjoy all the ways you can use this.

The wearer of this sling is 6'4" and the straps do fit him, just, and not as pictured. He's wearing it for a broken collar bone. People complain that there are no instructions, but it is really easy to figure out if you look at the picture and the product. In the picture the back straps come around under the arm and attach to the front. On the tall guy, the straps were nowhere near that long and had to come around under the arms to attach from the sides. The chest strap works on him (suit size 44) but the overlap was maybe 2". The issues he has with this sling are that it is pretty warm, not breathable, and is somewhat stretchy. There is no elbow cup so the upper arm is not directly supported, only the forearm. The stretchiness provides some give and therefore less secure support. The cloth one from the hospital had no give, and we used a cloth belt for added support across his chest. That combo seems to support better than this sling, but the cross back of this one is much more comfortable around the neck, than the over-one-shoulder one.

I broke my shoulder a week ago and struggled to keep my shoulder stable with the flimsy sling the hospital gave me and list so much sleep. I received this today and It was pretty easy to put on by myself with just a little help. I immediately felt relief. It is easy to adjust to the right level of support. Ii already know I will sleep better tonight!

And it would help if your photos showed how to wear this more clearly. Like don’t wear a black shirt when demonstrating a black brace. Can’t figure out how this is supposed to help. Sending it back. Can’t figure it out.

Works if you can figure out how to put in in.
